UW Farm Strategic Planning Capstone Projects, Winter 2023

Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health capstone projects for winter 2023 helped advance the UW Farm’s ongoing strategic planning process which was initiated in 2021. Students built upon Phase I of the Farm’s strategic plan by gathering community stakeholders’ thoughts, ideas, and opinions on goals for the farm’s growth. An overarching goal of all projects was to spread the word and foster awareness of the UW Farm’s goals, and to begin envisioning what these strategic goals will look like in-action.
