The Sustainable Food Systems Network views our own Penn State campus food system as a living laboratory for engagement in sustainable food and agricultural systems. We link classroom education with experiential learning, student-led research and community outreach.

We grow plants, and so much more… growing student leaders, growing community, and growing food! Core components of the SFSN include a working Dr. Keiko Miwa Ross Student Farm, a highly active Student Farm Club and Food Recovery Network chapter, a Food Systems minor, close partnership with the Lion’s Pantry and course collaborations across Penn State academics and operations. The SFSN is a launching point for conversations about many issues, including food security, food waste, and other pressing issues of our time.

The Sustainable Food Systems Program serves as a living laboratory, linking classroom education with experiential learning, student-led research and community outreach.
