Real Food Challenge

Real Food Challenge is a leading force in reshaping the food economy through student-driven initiatives and sustainable procurement practices. Dedicated to fostering positive change within food systems, Real Food Challenge collaborates with a network of students and youth across the nation, advocating for "real food" in academic institutions and local communities. This impactful work has already shifted over $80 million through the 20% by 2020 commitment campaign, demonstrating the power of universities and their students as drivers of progress.

Real Food Challenge champions regional supply chain justice, envisioning universities as key anchors in re-regionalizing value chains. This involves sourcing food from diverse, organic, and BIPOC producers, reflecting the unique characteristics of each region. By converting student mobilization into tangible outcomes, guided by the Real Food Standards and measured through the Real Food Calculator, Real Food Challenge empowers students to influence policy changes, promoting a more equitable and sustainable food system.

Real Food Challenge continues to innovate and expand its reach, inviting students from all campuses, partners from every corner of the food system and food justice movement, and alumni to join the cause. Real Food Challenge is committed to building a future where food systems are just, sustainable, and accessible to all. We invite the manager of Real Food Challenge to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform.
