Imagine a beautiful, lush "food forest" of fruit trees and vegetables, a little paradise on the edge of campus; broccoli, snow peas, beans, squash, cabbage, potatoes, herbs, and fruiting vines of passion fruit, grapes, and berries growing happily on rich brown soil; a thriving farm growing food and selling food; and an educational and community resource for people learning to grow their own food and live healthier lives.

San Diego State professors are reaching out overseas to help rebuild the curricula of a university in Afghanistan.
The professors are working with Interwork Institute, which is a program funded by the SDSU Research Foundation. Currently, the program helps faculty at Nangarhar University in Afghanistan to develop a four-year English language program and reform the outdated engineering program.
The Ministry of Higher Education in Afghanistan is funding the project through a $4 million grant issued to them by the World Bank.
