description
This report is the culmination of a semester long research project conducted during the spring of 2006 by ten Grinnell College students, under the supervision of Professor Jonathan Andelson, to investigate reasons for and the possibility of increasing the quantity of locally-produced food served in the college dining halls. The project focused on seven topics: environmental impact, nutrition, dining service logistics, producer logistics, economic impact, student opinion, and local foods at public schools. The study found that serving locally produced food in the Grinnell College dining halls is a viable option for the College. The purpose of this study is to provide a foundation for the understanding of the issues behind the local food situation at Grinnell and encourage the future development of this system.
