October 14, 2008 What is the Real Food Challenge (RFC): The Real Food Challenge is both a campaign and a network. The campaign is aimed at increasing the procurement of real food on college and university campuses. By leveraging their purchasing power college campuses can help catalyze the transformation of the larger food system. The network offers a chance for students and their allies (those working on the campaign along with those who've yet to sign on) to make connections, learn from one another, and grow the movement. Goals: To redirect 20% of all food purchased by colleges and universities (currently 4 billion dollars) towards real food by 2020. RFC National Month of Action for a Just and Sustainable Food System -- September 21st-October 21st RFC is launching their campaign and network with a month of action where students can stand hand in hand with farmers, farm workers, food service and allies to highlight the need for real change in campus food around the country.
