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.

Update on getting organized

I've had a number of good conversations and email exchanges with several of you after my weekend email about injecting a bit more structure into the garden project. Several ideas were floated, but they were all variations on a theme: we need to have a weekly "to do" list by the end of each Thursday class with people signed up for each task.

This Thursday, let's start class with the list-making and hold off on the book discussion until we are done. I think this will put the project(s) on firmer footing just in time for Spring Break.
