A Top 10 School for Sustainability | University of the Pacific's Food and Dining Practices

University of the Pacific ranks in the Top 10 in the world for sustainable food and dining practices on college campuses, according to a new study.

The 2021 Sustainable Campus Index, published annually by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, is based on hundreds of public and private universities in the United States and internationally self-reporting to the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System. Pacific is the only university in California to make the Top 10.

Pacific’s long-time food service provider Bon Appetit has a strong farm-to-fork initiative. Sia Mohsenzadegan, food service director for Bon Appetit at Pacific, said 90% of produce served at the university comes from farms within 150 miles of the Stockton Campus.

University of the Pacific is the first university in California, founded by state charter in 1851. Initially located in Santa Clara, the university moved to San Jose and then to Stockton in 1924. Now, we have two other campuses in Sacramento and San Francisco, hosting many of our graduate and professional programs, while the Stockton campus houses many of the undergraduate programs.
