Project Description: 

This project allocated $10,000 to have CCAT raise live chickens on campus. This project's purpose is to allow students at Cal Poly Humboldt have the opportunity to learn about food waste, sustainable agriculture, appropriate technology and livestock care. CCAT will obtain food waste on campus and use it as food for the chickens, then use manure produced to create compost for further agricultural projects. The budget will be used to build a safe and clean environment / shelter for chickens to live in, procure necessary supplies for feeding, watering, and caring for live chickens, and hire, train, and supervise a student assistant to care for the live chickens continuously through their first year at CCAT.
