The Humane Harvest Initiative™ seeks to promote and support the ethical treatment and handling of wild fish at harvest in the international marketplace. Guided by science-based studies which show significant quality and nutritional benefits gained by the ethical treatment of fish at capture, this Initiative will work to increase the recognition of fish as sentient beings deserving of ethical treatment by encouraging harvesters to take all steps possible to reduce stress, pain, and fear from capture to processing.

Terp Farm offers four-season vegetable production used in selected dining halls and on the Green Tidings mobile dining food truck, as well as providing produce to food-insecure members of the campus and College Park communities.
