Meatless Mondays
Meatless Mondays, launched in 2023, aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by promoting and incentivizing delicious meat-alternative options. The initiative saw enthusiastic participation from most Price Center and Student Center food vendors. Highlights include Panda Express's eggplant dish and Tapioca Express's tofu snack. Check out the links below to watch TikTok videos showcasing the promotion and engagement of this campaign!

Food Expos
Food Expo Mission: University Centers Sustainable Food Expo seeks to inform students, and the community about sustainable food solutions. The expo presents vendors, best practices, and ideas about preserving the environment, nourishing our bodies, and enhancing socially just food systems. Topics covered include nutrition, health, gardening, agriculture, food insecurity, and other areas that impact the food chain. We explore relevant challenges, and seek to highlight practical solutions.
This has been an opportunity to meet with local food providers and others who impact food, and health policy. Originally held in conjunction with Food Day celebrations throughout the United States, the Expo has become a favorite UC San Diego tradition.
Photos featured above are from the 2023 Food Expo, focused on plant-based food, as one aspect of food sustainability. The photos featured below are the posters from our past Sustainable Food Expos, may these serve as inspiration for your own iterations!
