The next Agronomy and Horticulture seminar is April 18
Desmond Layne, head and professor of the Department of Horticulture at Auburn University, will present “The FoodU Program at Auburn University,” on Thursday, April 18 at 11 a.m. in Keim Hall 150 or streamed live via Zoom at https://go.unl.edu/seminars.
FoodU provides Auburn students with transformational food system learning experiences as they grow hyperlocal fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers to support consumption and utilization in Campus Dining, the Culinary Sciences program and in two on-campus restaurants. Produce is grown outdoors in raised beds, in greenhouses, vertical farms and on a rooftop. Program highlights, best practices and challenges will be discussed.
