College and university campuses serve as a vital test bed for sustainability solutions of various types. To date, though, campus sustainability efforts have focused more on the environmental and economic aspects of sustainability, with less attention to its social aspects. This paper aims to draw on a study of student food insecurity to consider how sustainability’s three pillars might be more holistically engaged.,First, the paper reviews the literature on-campus food sustainability and student food insecurity to propose a preliminary characterization of sustainable food. Second, data from a study of food insecurity among students at a major research university are presented. The survey data measure the degree and attributes of food insecurity among undergraduate and graduate students. The focus group and interview data provide a detailed understanding of students’ experience with food insecurity, particularly with regard to how that experience resonates with the characteristics of sustainable food. Finally, the paper suggests that the systems thinking approach may be the best way to engage the social pillar of sustainability.,Food insecurity is prevalent among university students. These students find affordability and nutrition to be the most important characteristics of the diets they desire to have. The ability to access such foods conveniently is also important, whereas the sourcing of foods is not resonant.,This is a study of a single campus in the USA. Findings may be different on campuses that have different demographics and other characteristics.,Campus sustainability efforts must fully engage the social aspects of sustainability. This paper uses the example of food and food insecurity to show how and why this is important. It also points to systems thinking approach as appropriate for this holistic effort.

学生粮食不安全和校园可持续发展的社会公平支柱

高校校园是各种类型的可持续发展解决方案的重要测试平台。但是，迄今为止，校园可持续发展的工作更多地集中在可持续性的环境和经济方面，而对社会方面的关注则较少。本文旨在通过对学生食品无保障的研究来考虑可持续性的三个支柱如何更全面地参与。首先，本文回顾了校园食品可持续性和学生食品无保障的文献，提出了可持续食品的初步特征。其次，介绍了来自主要研究型大学学生对粮食不安全的一项研究的数据。调查数据衡量了本科生和研究生中粮食不安全的程度和特征。焦点小组和访谈数据提供了对学生在粮食不安全方面的经验的详细了解，尤其是关于这种经验如何与可持续粮食特征产生共鸣的方面。最后，本文提出系统思维方法可能是参与可持续发展的社会支柱的最佳方法。粮食不安全在大学生中很普遍。这些学生发现负担能力和营养是他们想要的饮食的最重要特征。方便地获取此类食物的能力也很重要，而食物的采购并不会引起共鸣。这是对美国一个校园的研究。在具有不同人口统计特征和其他特征的校园中，发现可能会有所不同。校园可持续发展工作必须充分参与可持续发展的社会方面。本文以粮食和粮食不安全为例，说明这一点的重要性和重要性。它还指出了适合这种整体努力的系统思考方法。
