Greater Roseland Sustainability Initiative

(Spring 2015 - Spring 2016)

The Greater Roseland West Pullman Food Network (GRWP) developed a sustainable model to address food insecurity in the Roseland and West Pullman communities, with the Greater Roseland Sustainability Initiative (GRSI). The GRSI is a collaboration between community, university, and business partners utilizing urban agriculture and social enterprise to increase access to fresh produce, improve STEM skills, and prepare youth for a “green collar” economy. CURL developed an annotated bibliography of various methods utilized around the world in urban agriculture. The bibliography was organized into three areas: social impact, methods, and water usage.
