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.

The tater tower is complete!

So last Friday I went ahead and planted five seed potatoes in our tater tower. I planted 3 different kinds, so we will have a good variety. Once the plants get about 24 inches high the other tire will need to be stacked and filled. I don't know who is going to be taking care of the garden after the semester is over but hopefully the garden won't go to waste. By the end of the summer there will be red, white and blue potatoes ready to eat.

If anyone wanted a few potatoes for their own garden I have a bunch more to give away. Just let me know if you are interested :D
