Overview
Led by Jennifer Berg, Director of Graduate Program in Food Studies, and Joy Santlofer, Adjunct Faculty Member, Department of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health, Steinhardt School
A self-contained sustainable food system, GCEL will create the beginnings of an urban agricultural working laboratory. The rooftop or ground-level greenhouse/garden will incorporate the entire food production cycle from production to harvesting, cooking, nutrition, consumption, waste and composting. This working 'lab' will be a microcosm of the newly-proposed NYU Food Systems academic program. The approved proposal has two components: an initial street- or rooftop-level garden, and a K-5 agricultural science curriculum, with potential for undergraduate research/collaboration.
