Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
GrOwING GREEN Project: Mobile Greenhouse
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Butler University's Center for Urban Ecology collaborated with architecture students at Ball State University to create a mobile greenhouse out of a shipping container. The mobile greenhouse is used for urban farming in conjunction with the Center for Urban Ecology Farm and for education and internship opportunities offered by the CUE. The mobile greenhouse allows the CUE Farm to extend its growing season and haul part of the farm anywhere in the urban community. This promotes community engagement, education, and helps garner support for urban farming in addition to providing freshly-grown produce.
