Explore the many ways to achieve a sustainable agricultural system whether a small backyard, rooftop garden or a small farm that can help build a local food secure community. There has been a fundamental change in how we think about food today; the consumer is ever more interested in how our food is produced, by who and where. It is important to recognize that the way that we grow food is interconnected to our water sources, the air we all breathe, and what we eat. Food sovereignty, global food systems and food safety, soil health, seed saving, growing practices, market opportunities and business development strategies are all explored in this course.
