CIA Green Campus

CIA Green Campus

A healthy environment yields healthy food. As chefs and culinary professionals, we at The Culinary Institute of America are keenly aware of the importance of promoting sustainable agriculture, managing our resources, employing eco-friendly campus design, and conserving energy.

That’s why understanding green principles and their relationship to the culinary arts is a fundamental part of the educational experience at the CIA. Our students, faculty, and staff are committed to protecting the environment through initiatives and practices such as the ones highlighted here.

Green Campus Initiative
In January 2010, the college launched its Green Campus Initiative. The multi-campus effort is building on the eco-friendly practices already in place and driving the changes necessary to create an even more sustainable and environmentally conscious place in which to live, learn, and work.
