Sustainable Agricultural Practices (In Progress)

Description

Sustainable agricultural practices involve remaining conscientious of the effect of agriculture on the environment. The aim of this project is to implement more of such practices on campus in order to promote growing food locally and reduce the University’s food waste, energy use, and carbon footprint. 

Some initiatives that have been taken include the development of a system to reduce phosphorous runoff from campus farmland and establishing and promoting the production of food on campus itself.  

The USDA and the external resources it provides are good resources to learn more about sustainable agriculture.
