Student Groups

There are many student-led groups on campus working on food and farm issues—from food security and food innovation to gardening and reducing food waste. See below for a list of student groups across campus, and find the ones that’re right for you!

Funding for Registered Student Groups (RSO)

BFI has grant opportunities to support UC Berkeley food and agriculture-related student groups. If you are interested in receiving financial support through our RSO Grant program, please visit our Student Grants page for more information.

Food Systems Graduate Group

The Food Institute Graduate Council (FIGC) at UC Berkeley is a cross-disciplinary hub for Berkeley master’s and doctoral students interested in food systems issues.

Food@Haas at Haas School of Business serves graduate students in MBA programs and seeks to creatively strengthen a sense of community through a mutual love of food and increasing access to resources, alumni and career opportunities in the food industry.

Graduate student groups, such as FIGC and Food@Haas provide input into BFI’s campus work and inform our efforts to support UC Berkeley’s student-related food systems programs.
