In photos: Dal brings worlds together for Community Day on Ag campus

Bringing Worlds Together was the theme of Community Day 2024 on Dal's Agricultural Campus in Truro last Thursday (July 25).

This annual tradition — around for more than 50 years now — provides an opportunity for the local community to come to campus and learn about the impact Dalhousie is having locally and globally.

“The Faculty of Agriculture is a proud member of the Truro/Bible Hill community, and our grounds and facilities are open to everyone,” explained Dr. Gefu Wang-Pruski, acting dean and campus principal   

“Community Day is an opportunity to thank our community for their support and show them some of the important work we are doing in a fun and engaging way.”

Nearly 2000 people were on campus throughout the four-hour event and travelled campus by wagon ride. Highlights included displays on vertical farming-hydroponics, biodiversity of insects, soil health and resilience, pollinator friendly and deer resistant plants, wearable technology, biomechanics and much more.
