As the University for Kentucky, our work is deeply rooted in a sense of community and in a spirit of partnership. That’s why as a part of 15-year contract with our dining partner, UK expanded its commitment to locally sourced food and organizations. We are serious about playing a leading role in growing a sustainable and resilient agro-food economy for the state. We do that by leveraging the university as a committed buyer of locally sourced products to develop and expand wholesale value chains for Kentucky-produced foods. UK will continue to partner with local and Kentucky Proud companies to provide healthy and affordable dining options to all the members of the UK community.
