Other Highlights
Farm Stand
UM Sustainable Food Program and Campus Farm jointly operate the Farm Stand. The weekly (seasonally) stand can be found outside near the UM Museum of Art where students and the UM community can purchase food grown by students at the Campus Farm. The Farm Stand has educational information about the campus and regional food system, as well.
Earthfest
Each fall the Central Campus Diag transforms into a one-stop shop for all things related to sustainability at U-M, showcasing the breadth of work in the areas of research, education, environmental justice, and operations. This annual event has taken place for 27 years.
Zero waste football games
All football games at Michigan Stadium have been zero waste since the fall 2017 season, engaging thousands of fans in composting and recycling—76 tons in fall 2022!
