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.

Meet at the garden this Thursday

A few announcements:

1) We have some heirloom tomato seedlings to plant this week. These include  James Island Cherokee Purple Tomatoes and another variety.
2) We need to go find some soil to fill the last box. Anyone want to make a run for this? If it is under $50, you can get you reimbursed by Friday morning. I was planning to do this today, but I had a surprise guest come through town and was happily distracted.
3) We need to work out carpool arrangements for the trip to Ambrose Farms next Friday.

See you tomorrow.
