The university promotes sustainable agriculture through the production of organic fertilizer made from natural materials, particularly fallen leaves collected around the campus. This initiative is part of our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on responsible consumption and production, climate action, and life on land.
Faculty members, staff, and students actively participate in the composting process. Organic waste such as dried leaves, food scraps, and other biodegradable materials are collected, layered, and naturally decomposed under controlled conditions. The resulting compost serves as a nutrient-rich fertilizer that improves soil quality and enhances plant growth.
This eco-friendly fertilizer is used in the university’s vegetable and herb gardens, reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers and minimizing waste sent to landfills. The project also provides practical learning experiences for students about circular resource management, waste reduction, and environmental stewardship.
Through this initiative, the university aims to create a self-sustaining cycle of food production — transforming campus waste into valuable resources for growing safe and healthy crops. It exemplifies the university’s vision of becoming a green and sustainable campus that integrates education, research, and community engagement to protect the environment and support long-term ecological balance.
