Jeanette Pope290A: Tps:Sustainability of Campus Farms
Delve into the dynamic world of sustainable agriculture in our innovative course, "Sustainability of Campus Farms." This research-based course invites students from all disciplines to explore the pivotal question: "Is a student-centered campus farm sustainable for our campus?" In this immersive experience, students will engage with a blend of academic literature, hands- on farm work, and practical business planning. Students will also actively participate in Ullem Farm's lifecycle - from planning and planting to tending and harvesting. This practical involvement offers an invaluable perspective on the challenges and rewards of sustainable farming. In the capstone project, students will synthesize their learning to develop comprehensive business plans that will address how the campus farm can operate within the economic, environmental, and social equity frameworks central to sustainability. By the end of this course, students will not only gain practical skills in sustainable farming but also contribute meaningful ideas towards the sustainability of our Ullem Farm farm.
