The Live It Fund is a project of the Institute of Global Citizenship Student Council. The fund seeks to empower Macalester students to embrace the living definitions of global citizenship on our campus and in the wider world. This summer the Live It Fund made possible the efforts of Macalester students to launch an urban farm in southern Minneapolis. The farm, Concrete Beet Farmers, is run under the Community Sustainable Agriculture (CSA) model and recently shipped their first crop.

Additionally, the Macalester MULCH garden sells its surplus produce to Bon Appetit.
