A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:
The Sowing Change is an ongoing (since 2016) partnership between Susquehanna University, Bucknell University, the Union/Snyder County Community Action Agency, and community gardens in the region. Financial support: Work on this project is included in the Susquehanna University Sustainability Coordinator's job description, and the SU and Bucknell civic engagement offices also provide time on the project. The project serves as a support/engagement network for campus and community gardens in the region and to connect those gardens to food access and distribution programs to increase the amount of fresh healthy produce available to food insecure individuals in our region. Conferences have been held in 2017, 2018, and 2019 to build a network of like-minded individuals. In 2020, it was determined that to best serve the food insecure in our region, Sowing Change should be housed within the Union/Snyder County Community Action Agency. Work has begun to transition Sowing Change into a regional hunger coalition. Susquehanna and Bucknell plan to continue supporting and working on this future hunger coalition.
