In a significant move towards promoting sustainable food practices, Universitas Airlangga has embarked on a journey to prioritize local, ethical, and eco-friendly food sourcing and consumption. This groundbreaking initiative not only benefits the university community but also contributes to the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Local, Sustainable, and Ethical Food Sources

One of the most commendable aspects of Universitas Airlangga’s new food-sourcing approach is its commitment to supporting local food producers and distributors. By favoring local, sustainable products, the university is not only bolstering the regional economy but also reducing its carbon footprint through shorter transportation distances.

In addition to local sourcing, the university is making a conscious effort to obtain food sources from livestock and fishery activities that adhere to strict animal ethics standards. This means that the welfare of animals involved in the production of meat and seafood is a top priority.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Another vital aspect of the initiative is the university's commitment to eco-friendly packaging. Food and beverage packaging used in the canteens and catering services will be not only useful and safe but also designed with recyclability and environmental impact in mind. This move aims to reduce plastic waste and promote responsible consumption practices.

Conservation of Marine Resources

Universitas Airlangga is also taking proactive steps to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. By working closely with suppliers and adhering to responsible fishing practices, the university ensures that its seafood offerings do not contribute to overfishing or harm fragile marine ecosystems.

Sustainable Crop Utilization

In a bid to further its commitment to sustainability, the university is actively promoting the sustainable use of crops. By focusing on eco-friendly and ethical food practices, UNAIR is setting an example for other institutions and businesses to follow.

UNAIR’s effort to optimize sustainable food practices serves as a shining example of how institutions can lead the way in responsible and sustainable practices. Their efforts highlight the vital role that universities and organizations can play in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
