Executive Summary
# Undergraduate Research: Mapping Dalhousie’s Campus Food System (2019) As part of an independent study at Dalhousie University’s College of Sustainability, Justin Andrews conducted a comprehensive analysis of the university’s food system. It explored how campuses can serve as anchors for sustainable and just food change. His research examined food procurement, academic programs, and student activism to understand how food is brought to campus, taught in classrooms, and acted on through co-curricular initiatives. The study produced one of the first visual maps of Dalhousie’s food ecosystem, revealing both the strength and fragmentation of food-related efforts across departments. This early work planted the seeds for Food Web’s mission: connecting existing assets to strengthen local food networks.
