Hasanuddin University has taken concrete steps to ensure that the food served on campus is sourced from sustainable agricultural practices. Through Rector’s Circular No. 09834/UN4.1/KM.01.03/2024, regarding food served within the Unhas environment, the university established an internal policy requiring that food provided in Unhas cafeterias consider sustainable agricultural practices.

Unhas has also initiated agricultural and local production programs that support the principles of sustainable farming. For example, the cocoa pilot plant run by IBT-STP Unhas is a premium chocolate processing unit under the brand name Cokelat Celebes, which uses local cocoa beans sourced from sustainable cocoa farms in South Sulawesi. In addition, Unhas academics have developed Cavendish banana cultivation on the Unhas campus as an alternative food source. The Faculty of Animal Science produces and sells meat and processed meat products sourced from sustainable livestock farms. Meanwhile, the Faculty of Forestry cultivates mushrooms that are sold within the campus. These various policies and initiatives demonstrate Unhas’s commitment to ensuring that the food available on campus comes from sustainable agricultural land.
