GES Students Help out the Pitt Pantry Through Their Sustainability Course

The Sustainable Food Source course, taken by Department of Geology and Environmental Students, spends most of their weeks at an urban farm learning and working with community leaders. This past week the class helped Ebony Lunsford-Evans (Farm Girl Eb) get her urban farm in the West End, named 1 Sound Farm, ready for the winter. As students pulled plants for the compost bin they realized some of the plants had ripe fruit still on them and asked if they could take it to the Pitt Pantry. Farm Girl Eb loved the idea and helped them find more food to donate. Overall, the students were able to donate 57 pounds of fresh, organic produce to the Pitt Pantry.
