Campus farming on summer 2024
UEF offers its students and staff opportunities for campus farming during the summer.
Both campuses have places, cultivation boxes and planting soil available. At Kuopio there is cultivation boxes in the courtyard of Melania and Mediteknia buildings and in the courtyard of Borealis and on the roof of the Metria building in Joensuu. You can cultivate together with your co-workers and also the students can participate. There is 1 to 2 boxes reserved for each group of campus farmers.
Those interested in campus farming, please contact Senja Hytinkoski or Saila Vaittinen, who are the contact persons of university’s Sustainability and Responsibility Group.
You don’t need any official contract for campus farming, but there is some basic rules for all. Every farmer is responsible for purchasing their own seeds and seedlings for farming, taking care and watering of them and looking after possible wastes to the garbage can. Water is available at cultivation places, but you need to bring your own equipments for farming.
Please remember, that the cultivated plants are for their farmers, they are not in common use for all, thank you. This way all who are farming there can enjoy their own harvest.
Welcome to the farming group! |
