Students the “Benefits of Urban Farming” class work at the Hope for the Inner City campus in East Chattanooga.<\/p><\/div>\n

Anna Smith thought she was just signing up for yet another online class when she enrolled in a philosophy course titled \u201cOur Values in the Environment\u201d for the fall 2020 semester.<\/p>\n

Smith, a political science nonprofit management major, said she was pleasantly surprised to learn the class would involve more than just those tiny Zoom squares.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even know it would have a community outreach or involvement,\u201d explained Smith, who is minoring in philosophy and environmental science. \u201cI actually got to get outside of my house and be around other people, and that was quite a novelty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beginning fall 2020, Smith and her classmates in the philosophy and environmental science course volunteered with Grow Hope Farm, a community garden maintained by Hope for the Inner City<\/a> in East Chattanooga. The partnership continued into spring with a philosophy course titled \u201cExploring the Benefits of Urban Farming.\u201d Both courses were led by philosophy lecturer Lucy Schultz.<\/p>\n

During the height of the pandemic last year, the farm wasn\u2019t tended, so the students\u2019 first task was to help Grow Hope staff and volunteers reclaim it.<\/p>\n

From pulling weeds to painting murals, they sowed seeds, harvested collard greens, built a greenhouse and shared fresh produce with the farm\u2019s neighbors, they watched as the gardens slowly came back to life.<\/p>\n

Without the class, Nia Alston doesn\u2019t think she would have ever been one to volunteer on a farm.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I ever would have been like, \u2018Oh yeah, let me go,\u2019 because I was pushed to kind of go and do it. I really have seen how much I enjoy just being out there,\u201d explained Alston, an environmental science major concentrating in engineering science.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Practice what you teach<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/strong>Schultz sees the course as fulfilling the University\u2019s mission to incorporate more experiential learning into the curriculum but, more importantly, getting students engaged with the community as they help address local food insecurities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want students to understand how philosophy is not just sitting back, reflecting on abstract ideas. It really does make a difference in the way that we live in the world and how we relate to each other and the environment,\u201d Schultz explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a real hands-on way to see those ideas in practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the mental and physical benefits of working with the gardens, to gaining practical skills and new hobbies, to better understanding the socio-economic impacts the urban farm has on its community and more, Schultz\u2019s list of ways students benefited from the course is a mile long.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that what students took away from the experience is varied and personal depending on what their background is,\u201d Schultz concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was really exciting to see and experience because I couldn\u2019t have planned it. We just dove right in and developed this partnership and now we\u2019re seeing the fruits of it, and I\u2019m really eager to see what else will come of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not that unique <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Tony Houston, senior philosophy major with an environmental science minor, said his experience in the course has caused some serious self-reflection. Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, he lived in a similar neighborhood and had a detached relationship with food.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t even know what a potato was beyond something that can be consumed. What I mean by that is: I had no idea how a potato was grown or where they were grown.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember growing up, that\u2019s how it was. You go to the corner store. You get your bag of chips. You\u2019re going to eat the chips, split the bag open, lick the crumbs. Then you\u2019re just going to toss it.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t really value your environment at all. It comes from a sense that your environment doesn\u2019t really value you because of where you are, how you\u2019ve been treated, how hard it is, the situations and opportunities you\u2019re presented.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he interviewed Grow Hope Farm neighbor Charlie Bell for an assignment, the conversation was eye-opening.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe told me, \u2018Some of these children don\u2019t know where their food comes from.\u2019 That grounded me. My experience wasn\u2019t that unique. Children are facing the same problems I did when I was younger, two states away from my hometown. It made me realize that this lack of nutrition affected a lot of low-income communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI greatly enjoyed my experience on the farm this semester, and it has changed my relationship with food as well as my understanding of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
