• Agriculture, nutrition, and public health students need to focus on sustainable options in order to learn how to feed a growing population nutritious and quality food.
• Education majors spread the knowledge of sustainable options to the next generation so they can lead change. Every major has a connection to sustainability.
• It’s also important to know if the businesses you support incorporate sustainability in their business model.
