Sustainable Beef
It seems like there have been a lot of articles about food in the Cornell Daily Sun lately. This one caught my eye today because Cornell Dining has decided to incorporate local beef into four dining locations. It amazes me that this beef will travel "less than 65 miles" from farm to fork. This is an incredible accomplishment and a major decrease in the university's carbon footprint! (Not to mention beneficial to the community too!)

Awesome!! I saw the sign up at Bear Necessities but hadn't seen this article. Funny how it says the patties had been processed and delivered from the Bronx but not where the beef had been raised. I'd be interested in knowing if they had any clue... also I'm curious what local farms the beef will be coming from now.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that too, but it must be far away too because they wouldn't be raised in the Bronx!
