Hello Twitter! This semester we are taking an interdisciplinary course called Ideas Congress (ICON) at the @uofg. Our team is focusing on brainstorming ways to reuse/reduce crop residues. Give us a follow and tag along with us on this journey!!🌽🌽 #CircularFarm @IdeasCongress

ICON has been one of the best experiences in my time of being an undergraduate thus far. Through it I met an amazing group of individuals and it taught me so much about teamwork, problem- solving in the real world and allowed me to foster a sense of community! - Memoona

As we're wrapping up our semester and completing our final reports, we would like to share some excerpts from our reflections! @IdeasCongress #CircularFarm

Considering the problems facing the world in the future, much of our work is going to involve working in multidisciplinary teams, and thus, the skills I gained from ICON working in collaborative environments with students from across disciplines is extremely invaluable – Aisha

In @IdeasCongress we teach students how to manage a piece of a project and integrate it into the larger effort.

@DrDanielGillis, @JessiNelsonDuck, and I are excited to see the final project and simply beaming with how well students are working together.

And as the other half of this group, we’ll be focusing on the handling of edible excess crops, by bridging the gap between farms and food banks! 👨‍🌾🍅🏢♻️#letsdothis #CircularFarm @IdeasCongress

Instead of changing pre-existing frameworks that work, we've decided to build off these frameworks. Our focus will be on building the bridge between food insecurity and food waste. 🥕=🗑️=💡

Throughout our ICON course, we always wanted to implement a big change to make a big difference. But we recently learned that one small change can make a big difference 💡 #CircularFarm @IdeasCongress

@iconff21 @IdeasCongress This sounds great!

[Crop Residue (Group 1) @CropResWhat]

Also, there’s so much group work involved, but the environment isn’t competitive, its nurturing. We all feel supported and are supportive of each other, because we’re working towards a common goal. Wholesome classroom environment! 🤍 @IdeasCongress

[Crop Residue (Group 1) @CropResWhat]

Side note: the interdisciplinary approach of this course towards tackling real-world problems, with no real definite rubric binding us is SO refreshing. We feel like we’re actually thinking and using our knowledge towards solving something. It’s a great feeling! @IdeasCongress
