With the expansion of African universities and the democratization of access to higher education, campus food has emerged as a structural issue in university governance in the Global South. For thousands of students, securing food is a daily challenge linked to their academic resilience, health, and dignity. The book examines how ignorance of local food cultures can contribute to a form of epistemic symbolic violence that universities must address. Feeding students thus becomes a lever for justice, resilience, and the decolonization of knowledge, aiming to fill a gap in the scientific literature and serve as a reference for stakeholders in higher education in the Global South.
