Welcome to the Environmental Studies Capstone Course blog. Over the past decade, community interest in reclaiming control over food production and consumption has fueled a wave of food activism, what Sandor Katz calls"America's Underground Food Movements."

Participants in this course are taking part in the urban agriculture food movement. In addition to reading , discussing, researching and writing on urban agriculture, we are participating. We are planning and planting a garden on campus, forming allegiances with campus and community groups, and contributing to a more sustainable community.

Our Garden

I thought it might be nice to share a few pictures with you of our garden located behind the Sociology/Anthropology department. These pictures are from the day our first plants got in the ground in late March. We didn't have a hose yet, so we watered our babies with whatever containers we happened to have available, including coffee mugs. It's been a lot of fun so far working with all of you on this garden project. It will be exciting to see our plants grow over the next few weeks. Hopefully most of us will be available to see this happen. Is there anyone else who will be available over the summer to help tend it?
