The plan is to build a university greenhouse so that students can grow and harvest fresh produce.

The initiative brings together student from Outdoor Education, Social Care and Early Childhood Education and Care. The ATU Green Campus society will also play an active role in promoting the use of the greenhouse.

With experienced students and staff, non-experienced growers can gain first-hand experience when it comes to growing and managing food production. Once students realise how easy it is to grow their own food, the expectation is that they will grow their own and pass on the skills to others.
