Functioning underneath the University of California - San Diego Urban Studies and Planning department, Roger's Community Garden is home to a variety of student-led projects designed to help reduce food waste and carbon emissions while simultaneously producing organic, locally-grown produce for the UCSD Food Co-op and the Triton Food Pantry. Some examples of our student research projects are converting campus food waste into organic fertilizer, maintaining aquaponic and hydroponic systems, and cultivating edible oyster and shiitake mushrooms from coffee grounds.
