Feeding the Future: Innovation, Equity and Climate Resilience in the Food System

The UMass Dining Sustainability Team is excited to kick off the fall 2025 semester with a Dining for a Cooler Planet event at Berkshire Dining Commons on Wednesday, September 24. The event, Feeding the Future: Innovation, Equity, and Climate Resilience in the Food System will take place during the nationwide Climate Week and the local Climate Change and Farming Week led by CISA. The event will feature a special menu from 5–9pm, that will showcase seasonal ingredients from our regional partners. We will also have a panel discussion from 6–7pm in the Berkshire Room. The panel will bring together farmers, advocates, professors, and other food system professionals to share firsthand stories and perspectives on building a more innovative, equitable, and resilient food system. Join us for an evening of delicious local food and meaningful conversation.
