Sustainability

Sustainability - Carrot in buckets

Through student programming, education and impactful initiatives, we are committed to sustainability awareness. Our student-run UT Farm Stand program equips the campus community with the skills and awareness to meaningfully participate in sustainable agriculture. Through markets that make local produce accessible and eco-friendly initiatives, this program offers numerous ways to learn about sustainable food practices on the Forty Acres and beyond. Help us conduct market days, maintain campus gardens and manage zero-waste programs by becoming a volunteer.
