Introduction
The Sustainable Agriculture program is designed to address a safe, reliable food supply and the environmental relationships of agriculture with resource use, energy consumption, and climate change. This program aims to provide practical training and experience for sustainable farming and gardening and is directed towards new farmers, gardeners, landscapers, nursery producers, and farm managers. Graduates will be prepared to enter farming, gardening, community organizations, agricultural businesses, or to continue their education in sustainable food production and agricultural professions.
Graduates are prepared with the scientific basis and technical skills necessary to pursue a sustainable agriculture professional career. Hands-on experience in laboratories and field experiences allows students to put into practice knowledge gained in the classroom. Graduates of this program are not only prepared to work as sustainable agricultural professionals, advisors, and managers; they also are prepared with the fundamentals for pursuing further study in the field of agriculture and related natural sciences.
