So, I’m writing a research proposal for English.
We’re supposed to go along the lines of finding ways to promote environmentally friendly living our college campus.
My idea is that our college should devote some of the land (where they’re bulldozing eight dorms) to grow houses and farm land. Organic farming could help promote healthier living, If they develop a class to teach the students about hands-on organic farming, then the university could utilize what is grown for their own use. Not only would students be educated about organic foods and farming, but the university could use these foods and hopefully promote the local economy by buying from our area.
Does this sound decent? Any tips? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Organic farm land will benefit both students and local community. The aim towards the benefit of both school and community is great. On the other hand, it may be costing schools rather than saving money since organic farming takes a lot of effort to maintain.
So, how about these ideas;
1. Renting farm land out to local organic farmers and associate with them, so that they can assist agriculture classes and provide study materials.
2. Hire local organic farmers to maintain the farm. Students can get hands on experiences and study the farm. Distribute the harvested vegetables to local community. Community can donate to the school to keep the service.
3. Get funded to build a research facility to develop future organic farming methods. Something like this. http://marukuwato.multiply.com/journal/item/171
