A feature story highlights SEED Wayne, a university initiative to build sustainable food systems on campus and in the community. Kami Pothukuchi, associate professor of urban planning at Wayne State, and founder of SEED Wayne, comments extensively in the piece. In 2008, she found a funding opportunity in the Ford Fund’s College Community Challenge and started one on-campus garden. SEED Wayne now includes three different gardens including one on the roof of a parking structure – a 22-week farmers’ market, a corner grocery store initiative, educational outreach and a newsletter. Several photos of SEED Wayne activities are included. (print edition only)
