The Sustainable Food Procurement Guide seeks to clarify to the campus community what is important to MSU as we strive to make increasingly responsible choices in foodservice sourcing. This includes students, faculty, support staff and alumni. Additionally, vendors may choose to utilize the guide as a means to educate themselves on MSU’s current practices and how we work to increase access and diversify our supply chain.
