“Plant a Seed” is a unique interdisciplinary educational project for sustainability at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The intention is to advance sustainable measures and create a template for other universities to emulate. Under a water-energy-food-nexus framework, the small-scale campus garden located within the dense urban environment aims to create campus- to nation-wide networks to raise awareness around:

1. sustainable consumption and production
2. conservation of biodiversity
3. importance of green spaces in cities for human health
4. microclimate mitigation
5. food sovereignty
