Sustainability is one of the most critical concepts of the 21st century. As the world looks to new options to feed an ever-expanding population, sustainable food sources have taken center stage, in place of traditional farming methods. The Citadel Sustainability Project (CSP) is designed to not only meet a wide variety of needs for the college itself but also create new experiences and opportunities for students across the Lowcountry. The CSP is based on three simple concepts: Cadet-based, fills immediate and long-term nutritional needs, and provides hands-on sustainability education. These concepts will serve as the building blocks for the project as well as guiding principles for its eventual expansion on several levels.
