GVSU Sustainable Agriculture Project The GVSU Sustainable Agriculture Project:
seeds sustainability and cultivates leadership

The Sustainable Agriculture Project is a physical place, and a scientific station, where students can go to research plants, the environment, human-environmental interaction, systems thinking, and community. It is also a laboratory in that it is a space where students can get their hands dirty while learning quantitative and critical thinking skills relating to soil, water, plant life, climate cha

nge, and the environment. It is also a working studio space and gallery for artists, a field site with a ready-made community of people on a small working farm perfect for sociological study. It is also a business that produces and sells food to support the activities of the SAP. GVSUSUSTAINS blog: https://wordpress.com/view/gvsusustains.wordpress.com
