Excerpt:
Bateman’s proposal, “Growing Gardens, Growing Minds: Experiential Learning in Urban Sustainable Agriculture and Ecosystem Science,” resulted in a grant of almost $400,000 as one of 21 projects awarded across 10 states.
Other awarded institutions include Texas A&M University, Metropolitan State University of Denver and the University of New Mexico. Approximately 600 HSIs represent about 5 million students, Lawrence says.
“The need for food increases as the global population increases,” she says. “We need more students to be involved and trained as professionals in food, agriculture, natural resources and nutrition sciences by offering classes where there weren’t any.”
Bateman is a senior sustainability scientist and professor in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts at Arizona State’s nearly 10,000-student Polytechnic campus in Mesa, Ariz. Her grant application noted that urban and exurban areas are the fastest-growing ecosystems on Earth.
