Cal Dining won three Higher Education 2013 Best Practice awards at the recent California Higher Education Sustainability Conference. One, for sustainable foodservice, was based on the department's food waste reduction efforts using the LeanPath program, which since August 2011 has reduced pre-consumer food waste by more than a third.
Notable are the 100 percent certified organic salad bars at all four dining halls. Also, Crossroads Dining Hall is the first green-certified building at UC Berkeley and has the nation’s first organic certified kitchen on a college campus.
UC-Berkeley also recently signed a contract with the College and University Resource Alliance group purchasing organization geared specifically to the higher education foodservice market.
