The Edible SDSU Map showcases a wide variety of edible plants found right here on campus. Launched in Spring 2019 thanks to Sustainable SDSU student intern, Barbara Green.  

Edible SDSU features the location of edible fruits, dates, berries, leaves, flowers, nuts, and seeds for you to explore! Including but not limited to many Date Palms, Strawberry Trees, and Edible Loquats. All in one user-friendly map!

The purpose of Edible SDSU is to provide campus community members with a tool to find a quick source of food. Also, some of the fruits that fall prove a challenge in keeping campus grounds clean. With more people harvesting these fresh fruits we hope to provide a food resource, a cleaner campus, and an understanding of the life around us.

Caution: Please use at your own risk. Make yourself aware of any hazards such as personal allergies.

Aztec Shops' SDSU Dining is committed to sustainability. As part of this commitment, SDSU Dining has forged an ongoing partnership with the Green Restaurant Association (GRA).

In 2015, SDSU Dining became the first campus to require all of its tenants to meet the GRA's Certified Green Restaurant® environmental standards. That same year, it led all campuses with the most stadiums / arenas with Certified Green Restaurants®

The Aztec Shops "Campus Grown" campaign works to grow fresh produce on campus to use for their dining facilities. Aztec Shops has two gardens at the Faculty Staff Club that are used in foodservice locations around campus. In addition, they have forty aeroponic towers and seedling tables on The Garden patio at Cuicacalli.

Do your part by eating vegan and vegetarian food, which significantly lowers carbon emissions and water consumption.

Eat fresh, local, and organic food.

This guide will give you all the resources you need to find the healthiest foods on campus for yourselves and the planet.

Aztecs Rock Hunger is an annual event that collects food from the campus community and donates them to a local food bank. Each year, SDSU donations hundreds of thousands pounds gets donated to the food insecure.

In 2016, Associated Students launched a campaign to combat food insecurity. A mobile food truck is available on during the Farmers Market for students in need. The A.S. No Waste program also provides leftover event food to students. Sign up to get updates about available food.

BrightSide Produce is a student-driven, social venture with a sustainable distribution model designed to eliminate food insecurity in underserved neighborhoods while bridging communities through people and produce. BrightSide is a program of the Center for Regional Sustainability.

Get involved by buying produce at the SDSU Farmer's Market or by interning with them!

BrightSide provides a service that increases the accessibility, availability, and affordability of fresh fruits and vegetables by serving as a produce distributor that reaches food insecure customers in underserved and university communities

Associated Students is a partner of the College Area Community Garden, by the Children’s Center. Anyone can rent plots; GreenLove and the Enviro-Business Society both have plots. A small pilot composting facility is hosted by the Community Garden. Compostables from the Children’s Center and certain Associated Student events end up turning into compost right on campus.

There are multiple gardens on campus growing a variety of useful nutritious food! SDSU Dining uses food from the Hello Walkway Garden and the The Garden aeroponic towers. In addition, we have the Mediterranean Garden, Native Truth and Healing Garden, Museum of Biodiversity, the Art Building Garden, and a Herb Garden!
