About Sustainable Cafeterias
In 2009, Sierra Youth Coalition (SYC) became involved in a partnership with the Fédération étudiante universitaire du Québec (FEUQ), in order to maintain a strong relationship with students in Québec’s universities. The student unions, represented by the FEUQ asked for tools to improve the sustainability of university food services. In response to their request, the campaign “Café durable” or "Sustainable Cafeterias" was born in 2010. Student representatives are very enthusiastic about this campaign, and not only in Québec: during the 12th Annual National Sustainable Campuses Conference, held this year at Queen's University, students from all over the country expressed their interest in having a similar campaign at their university.
The campaign guide rests on four pillars: management, operations, food and community. For each topic, different actions are proposed to increase sustainability. More than a resource, it’s a way to implement a structured process to achieve the shared goals of thousand of university students. The campaign guide includes proposed actions for each topic, information about project management, a chart used to evaluate food services, success stories and resources.
