INTEGRATED APPROACH
Developing a Model for a Sustainable Food System
 
Rural family farmers work hard to produce half of the world's food, yet they make up 75% of the world's poor (FAO, 2014). We focus on the farming, consumption, and commercialization of amaranth, a highly nutritious cereal crop native to Mexico, to improve family nutrition and create economic opportunities for rural families.   Our work is based in Oaxaca, Mexico.

University of San Francisco Urban Agriculture

In 2007, USF professors Melinda Stone and Seth Wachtel and eleven students enrolled in the year-long Garden Project living learning community transformed an overgrown lot into a campus organic garden. Over the next four years, Garden Project students and faculty installed irrigation and water catchment systems, planted an orchard, painted garden murals, and designed and built an outdoor kitchen, greenhouse, toolshed, and a solar power system. In 2011, responding to overwhelming amount of student interest, the professors transitioned the Garden Project into a minor in Urban Agriculture.

In doing so, we focus on health and nutrition through food as an integral step toward improved well-being.
