Farm to Table, the UCLA Recipe

From the creator

At colleges across the country there are cash-strapped students who are hungry and undernourished. Although there are no firm figures about the number of UCLA students who struggle with food security, Savannah Gardner knows they’re here. She knows because she’s one of them. Gardner said current estimates from existing surveys show that roughly 20 percent of UCLA students experience food insecurity. First-generation college students and those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds are among the hardest hit when it comes to not having enough to eat each day, she said. With this in mind, she and UCLA Ph.D. student Tyler Watson are leading a multipronged project to alleviate campus hunger and food waste. Along with six other Bruins, they are among 44 UC students selected to lead projects at their respective campuses as part of the UC Global Food Initiative Fellowship program.
