Abstract

In this commentary, we provide a snapshot into the experiences and perspectives of college stu­dents and staff engaged in an on-campus urban farm run by a college. By delving into the chal­lenges faced by staff members and student work­ers, we seek to identify nuanced areas for improve­ment in the management, communication, and promotion of the on-campus farm’s work. This commentary emphasizes the imperative to bridge the gap between students and staff, address nega­tive perceptions, and amplify the educational and career value of on-campus farming experiences.
