2. Really good article from there:

The archetypal college activist starts by taking over a building. The Yale Sustainable Food Project started similarly, but avoided the usual campus showdown, and ended up with everyone sitting down to dinner instead.

In 2000, Yale undergraduates were inspired by the conviction that the toughest environmental challenges call upon us to change the way we eat and produce food. So they took over the office of the director of dining services, demanding local and organic food. They were offered beans -- literally (organic beans are cheap). This small victory motivated them to take their case to Yale President Richard C. Levin.

Levin saw the power of their idea, and raised them one: he proposed a college farm. The young idea won the support of Alice Waters, a Yale parent, and the visionary author and founder of Chez Panisse. Waters, a sort of mother to the sustainable food movement at large, added to their vision, inspiring the group to make this, as she says, a "delicious revolution."
