Sustainable Ag: Carbon & Food SU26 (ENVS-23000-01)

Did you know that we can grow food while helping to slow climate change? "The answer lies in the soil". Sustainable agriculture is focused on implementing more natural, less harmful farming practices that sequester carbon and build soil fertility and plant resilience while maintaining crop production. This course introduces students to a set of sustainable agriculture practices and investigates their scientific basis. Students will learn techniques by practicing them in the campus Learning Garden and visiting local gardening and farming sites. [MNS]
