TUCO member, The University of Reading, is one of many organisations who have contributed to a 23% reduction in food-related greenhouse gas emissions across 93 million pounds of food in just five years.

The Menus of Change University Research Collaborative's Collective Impact Initiative (MCURC) is led by Stanford Residential & Dining Enterprises, Stanford Prevention Research Center, and The Culinary Institute of America. It brings together forward-thinking colleges and university scholars, foodservice leaders, executive chefs, students, and administrators, accelerating progress toward healthier, more sustainable, and delicious foods using evidence. 

The University's case study is highlighted in the report, which you can read here, and focuses on how they have taken a science-led approach to drive the shift to plant-forward meals.

TUCO is proud to have partnered with the Menus of Change and supports its members to adopt the 24 principles in order to influence health in students, staff and communities and the health of the planet. Find out more here.
