Campus Community Market

This short report presents the results from an evaluation conducted by the Research Shop of a campus food market on campus at the University of Guelph. The Campus Community Market Pilot Project was a six-week, student-led initiative that aimed to bring local, healthy food to campus. It was supported collaboratively by The Arrell Food Institute, the U of G Sustainability Office, the SEED, and the Community Engaged Scholarship Institute.

This report explores the successes of the market, suggestions for improvement, and final conclusions and recommendations. The evaluation surveys found that this market was a viable way to address student food insecurity and provide the University of Guelph campus community with positive food experiences and increased access to nutritious foods.
