AUFC

Athens Urban Food Collective

Direct learning through direct action

The AUFC is a resource and service-learning center that provides students with hands-on experience and an opportunity to earn academic credit working on issues of local food production and distribution. The key focus of work through the AUFC is to spur critical thinking about and active engagement with the problem of food insecurity among people living in poverty in ACC. Faculty and students work together to design and implement interventions in local food provision in the form of urban gardening/farming, which will be maintained with a combination of student, faculty and community labor. We are building relationships with people and organizations working on related issues in several related endeavors across both campus and community
