Smart Consumption and The Green CISAT: An Organic Farming Project on RMUTL Campuses

To address the need to promote healthy and sustainable food production on campuses, the College of Integrated Science and Technology (CISAT), one of RMUTL’s campuses supports students’ projects “Smart Consumption” and “The Green CISAT” to promote sustainable farming in the campus. This activity offers dormitory staff, students, and canteen staff organic foods from students’ smart and green farming projects. Along with this activity, nutritionists are invited to organize a workshop for canteen staff. Dormitory students are involved in the preparation of soil, sowing, and adding organic fertilizer. Vegetables from this organic farming project are given to canteen staff to prepare free lunch and dinner for dormitory staff and students in CISAT, especially students from less privileged groups and students who lack access to nutritious and hygienic food. Some of the remaining vegetables are used for cooking free lunch boxes for visitors who occasionally visit the campus for events such as offering merit to monks.
