The newly formed UCD Library Green Group wanted to foster cross campus collaboration as they believed this would assist in realising their green goals. They saw the Learning Enhancement Project as a direct route to the student cohort who, motivated by their passion for the planet, would be willing to help the Library with this task.
About this initiative
Exploring the effect of composting and soil fermentation techniques on soil biodiversity’. Coordinated School of Mechanical and Design Engineering lecturer Gerard Ryder, the project will study the effect of a number of composting and soil fermentation techniques on soil biodiversity and will develop a number of sensors that could be used to visualise soil biodiversity. The project will focus on using food waste and paper waste generated from the canteen at the Tallaght campus for the experiment.
