Community Gardens and Food Initiative
Kovsie ACT, in collaboration with the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture and the Food Environment task team, aims to contribute to food security on campus. The aim is to ensure that food-insecure students with strong academic records are adequately nourished, therefore increasing their chances of academic completion and success.
With participation of residences and off-campus communities, 40 vegetable gardens are established with the possibility to feed hundreds of students on a weekly basis.
This is a long-term project and will not serve as a quick solution, but rather a lasting solution.
