The Garden Project, a student initiative overseen by the Office of Sustainability, aims to educate the campus about the American food system and its implications for the environment, health and nutrition, culture and the future by modeling sustainable food production and providing fresh, chemical-free produce to the Forbes Dining Hall, the campus Farmers' Market, local vendors and special campus events. It also hopes to provide a space accessible to the University community for meetings, socializing and hosting sustainability-related events.
