Abstract "Farm to campus" is a growing movement to mobilize the influence and power of colleges and universities to shape the food system. Research done before the Covid-19 pandemic shows that New England colleges with dining services served more than 87 million meals and spent nearly $400 million on food and beverage annually. Farm to Institution New England (FINE) works with the higher education sector to better understand and help shape the role higher education plays in the food system. The Data Center will be the one-stop shop for New England colleges to aggregate information about farm-to-campus efforts, generate reports, measure progress over time, network with other campuses, and more. The Data Center will build on and streamline the data-collection process and decentralize data ownership across multiple stakeholders.
