For years, University of Florida students and agricultural coalitions have been pressuring campus administrators  with some success to insist that UF s main food vendor pay workers better and work toward offering more sustainable food options. Now, with the vendor s contract coming up for review in the coming year, they are bringing even more pressure to bear. A letter sent to UF administrators this week outlines several demands for the contract.  It was sent by the Food Justice League, a local activist organization, and the Agricultural Justice Project, a Gainesville-based nonprofit rooted in local communities nationwide. The letter featured 41 national and regional supportive signatures, including some members of the Gainesville and Alachua County commissions, the county s school board, the Alachua County Labor Coalition, UF faculty and graduate student union branches and a number of nearby farms.
