Food Education at IU (FED)
FED at IU is a student organization dedicated to educating IU students about cooking (both healthy and indulgent), and about the food system as a whole, with emphasis on local and sustainable systems. We know that many college students are just starting out, learning how to cook for the first time, and sometimes cooking, shopping, and dealing with the vast amount of food options can be a bit overwhelming - but we can figure it out together. At FED, we do a variety of different events throughout the semester, including but not limited to cooking, events, farm visits, and cooking competitions! Connect on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.
Campus Kitchen at Indiana University
Campus Kitchen at Indiana University aims to reduce food waste and student food insecurity on IU Bloomington’s campus. We are involved in the recovery, transformation, and delivery of campus food waste into wholesome meals for Indiana University students with the goal of expanding to host food-waste centered cooking classes and partnering with Bloomington community groups. Connect on Facebook or Instagram.
