Campus Farms ~ A Growing Trend

Colleges and universities are sprouting farms left and right, and I hear that Brown students are hard at work on plans to create a Brown Campus Farm very near the East Side campus in Providence. There is considerable interest in this enterprise, which is rooted in the Sustainable Food Initiative at Brown. For background, see the current article in the Brown Daily Herald, "Organizers cooking up more local food offerings," (October 27, 2006). Also check out these links to the Yale Sustainable Food Project and the Middleburgy Organic Garden.
