Danone has partnered with the Big Ten Conference to promote plant-based nutrition on college campuses. This multi-year partnership will focus on providing access to Danone’s Silk plant-based beverages and Oikos yogurt to students and athletes at Big Ten schools. With the potential to reach over 580,000 students and 14,000 student-athletes, the partnership aims to improve nutrition and fuel the potential of individuals on campus.

Starting in the first quarter of 2026, Danone will implement various programs to support the nutrition needs of the Big Ten community, including athletic events, campus programs, retail promotions, and local food pantries. The partnership also intends to address food insecurity and expand nutrition education on campus, with a focus on building healthy habits that will support students for years to come. By collaborating with health leaders at Big Ten universities, Danone plans to create campus-specific programs and resources tailored to the nutritional needs of students and athletes.
