Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina, has decided to revive its farming operation. The farm has been dormant for decades, but Livingstone College President Jimmy R. Jenkins says that the “college is going back to the future.”
The reestablishment of the university farm will focus on urban agriculture and will complement the college’s hospitality management and culinary arts program, providing organic vegetables and fruits.
President Jenkins stated the farm will also help in the college’s mission to improve health and wellness in the African American community.
