Organic Food Options Triple
Rise in funds allows more organic meals
Though the Berkeley College dining hall will remain the only Yale eatery to serve entirely organic food this year, a roughly 50 percent increase in total expenses for the Yale Sustainable Foods Project will help bring organic items to all residential college dining halls six days per week.
Last year, students were introduced to organic pizzas, grass-fed burgers and 31 other YSFP products sprinkled throughout college dining halls, but this year the project offers a total of 89 menu items. In addition to new funding explicitly for the project, Yale Dining Services received approximately $1 million to account for the added costs of food, training and staff needed to accommodate the increase in organic servings.
