Anchor institutions like hospitals and universities can play significant roles in fostering local sustainability initiatives through procurement. The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is world renowned for its cutting-edge research and medical care. It is also a leader in sustainability, modelling healthy, sustainable food choices for patients, staff and visitors. In the recent 2014 town hall meeting, an attendee asked University of California Office of the President (UCOP) President Janet Napolitano about UCOP’s sustainable food initiative, advocating for a move away from an animal-based diet. She responded that while UC is not moving toward a total vegetarian approach, campuses are adjusting their procurement process to buy food from smaller, organic growers and efforts to eliminate antibiotics from the meat it serves at UCSF Medical Center.
