Take Action

We hope that reading The Omnivore's Dilemma will motivate many of our students to take further action. Below are some organizations (student and otherwise) that provide information, activities and venues for further exploration.

The campus's comprehensive sustainability website is a good starting point for anyone wanting to know what the campus is already doing and planning.

The Society for Agriculture and Food Ecology (SAFE), a student organization at UC Berkeley, features a wealth of resources, such as an events calendar and blogs, on its website.

For those who would like direct experience in an organic gardening at a site very close to the UC campus, check out the SOGA (Student Organic Gardening Association) website.

If you'd like to learn to cook, check the out the Cal Cooking Club, another student organization.

If reading Michael Pollan has inspired you to seek out local farmers' markets to find organic, seasonal, regional produce, you can find out everything you need to know at the Ecology Center website.
