Michael Cai is a third year Land and Food Systems student majoring in Food Science. His areas of interest include Food Chemistry, Food Analysis, and Food Safety. As with many of his fellow team members, he has also taken Home Economics classes in High School without learning about where our food came from. Through his years in university, he has recognized the importance of buying and cooking with local ingredients that are in season, both through courses and Co-op workplaces where local ingredients play a big role in reducing operation costs. Michael feels the idea of eating locally should be brought to the attention of youths where it can create a more lasting impact in their minds.
