At the beginning of orientation for each year's incoming Yale SOM class, students take part in a case competition designed to introduce them to fellow classmates and get them thinking like Yale MBAs. This year's case focused on the Yale Sustainable Food Project, also known as the Yale Farm, which grows organic food on a plot just north of campus and runs a variety of educational initiatives. Students were tasked with developing a proposal for a program through which the Yale Farm could encourage New Haven children to increase their involvement with growing, cooking, or eating healthy foods.
