Earth Day 2023 : UofL 'grows' efforts to provide sustainable meals

As many celebrate Earth Day on April 22, UofL continues to 'grow' an initiative aimed at making meals more environmental conscious.    A micro-farm greenhouse inside UofL’s ‘Ville Grill’ is small in stature but big on sustainability. Louie’s Greenhouse grows herbs, leafy greens and microgreens for use in campus meals. Canon Solutions America helped fund the greenhouse, which is run by Aramark for UofL Dining.   UofL students aren’t only involved in eating farm fresh greens, two student interns are part of this sustainability initiative. They help plant, harvest and send the greens to the kitchen without having to leave the building.    Watch to learn more about how Louie’s Greenhouse works:     Read more in this UofL News story.
