Learning about eco-friendly farming

Xiaozhuo Wen

Xiaozhuo worked with Dilmun Student Organic Farm, a farm is run by students of Cornell University which satisfies the daily vegetable needs of about 30 families through a CSA model. In addition to volunteering at the farm – harvesting radishes, beets, scallions, zucchini and more – she also engaged more students to start volunteering at the farm, and held activities like pickle-making on campus and attracted dozens of students to know more about farming and reflect on their own lifestyle. Consumers need to enhance ' practices, which are generally greener and promotes food sovereignty of the community."
