User experience research for a campus food system

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis explores how MIT can build community and increase access to information on healthy food options by mapping affordability, sustainability, and location-based attributes of MIT's food system in order to generate a community-based food resource. This work builds on recommendations from MIT's sustainability and food-focused working groups, which identified a shared solution space for mapping the campus food landscape. User experience design methods and extensive stakeholder research were implemented and form the basis for product and service recommendations to bolster MIT's food community moving forwards.
