Center for Regional Sustainability at SDSU

The Center for Regional Sustainability at San Diego State University fosters research; established collaborations across campus and with partners from business, government, and education; and generates solutions that enhance the natural environment, economic vitality, and social equity in the greater San Diego-Tijuana region. 

CRS is home to The Sage Project and BrightSide Produce: 

The Sage Project partners with local governments and engages faculty and students on projects that address pressing social needs in San Diego communities. Courses from across the campus participate in tackling real-world projects that help local communities improve quality of life for residents. 

BrightSide Produce is an SDSU, student-driven, social venture with a sustainable produce distribution model designed to eliminate food insecurity in underserved areas in San Diego. BrightSide Produce bridges communities through people and produce by distributing fruits and veggies to food insecure communities.
