The CCCE supports programs that engage students in environmental issues tied to community wellbeing and sustainability. We recognize that food production, waste, energy, and food insecurity are all intertwined, and envision a world of equitable environmental access and responsible stewardship. The Food & Environmental Justice cohort coordinates programming, events, and conversations to realize this goal.

As in all areas of the CCCE programming, the Center’s environmental systems programs are intended to promote student learning, reflection, growth, and development, while encouraging students to become engaged citizens locally, nationally, and globally. We seek to develop meaningful and reciprocal relationships with our community partners that last beyond individual students’ time at Carleton.
