Real Food Week, an event designed to increase awareness and access to community-based and sustainable food at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, kicks off Monday.
Currently, approximately 20 percent of UW-Madison’s food services are sourced from community-based green fair procedures, according to a video from F.H. King, a student group working for sustainable agriculture.
At 6:30 p.m., Slow Food UW will host Family Dinner Night at The Crossing church, and will include a $5 cost. Tuesday, the film “Ingredients” will play at the Union South’s Marquee Theater at 7p.m. The Slow Food Lunch Cafe opens at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday morning at The Crossing church, featuring food under the theme “healthy soul food.”
A network of student organizations will collect petition signatures on campus Thursday to support Real Food in the university dining halls. The week ends Friday at the F.H. King Harvest Festival at the Eagle Heights Community Garden from 5-8 p.m. to celebrate the end of the farming season.
