End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture
Dining services
Lack of access to food is a leading cause of death worldwide (UN, 2021). Although Macao is a relatively wealthy city, USJ is aware of the diverse needs of students from various socio-economic backgrounds and with different eating habits. USJ is making efforts to improve our canteen services—which cater to members of USJ and also the students and staff of a local secondary school—by increasing healthy, affordable, and sustainable food choices, and including vegetarian and vegan options.
Food waste reduction
Food waste is a global issue. Some estimate that 25-30% of total food produced is lost or wasted (IPCC, 2019).
In order to contribute reducing food waste, a food waste monitoring system has been introduced in our campus canteen.
