The next Agronomy and Horticulture seminar is Nov. 7
Desmond Layne, department head and professor in the Department of Horticulture at Auburn University, will present “The FoodU Program at Auburn University” on Thursday, Nov. 7 at 11 a.m. in Keim Hall 150 or streamed live via Zoom at https://go.unl.edu/seminars.
FoodU provides Auburn University 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 two on-campus restaurants. Produce is grown outdoors in raised beds, greenhouses, vertical farms, and on rooftops. Desmond Layne will discuss program highlights, best practices and challenges.
