What You’ll Learn
Campus Food Systems
Learn how food moves from producers to your plate, who makes the decisions, and how corporations use money and size to control the system. You’ll understand how campus food systems can hurt small producers and workers, and how to organize for change.
And so much more.
Campaigning
Learn tools based on RFC’s history of campaigning on campuses. You’ll gain skills that you’ll deploy as you actively work to win campaigns on your campus.
