    Description
    This class explores the emerging practices of sustainable agriculture, in response to the negative consequences of industrialized agriculture. Tremendous progress has been made towards farming with nature and restoring ranches to be part of the natural ecosystem. This farming with the wild is not only producing more food but enhancing the environment. Students study sustainable practices such as: use of Heirloom seeds, natural fertilizers, drip irrigation, Integrated Pest Management, rotational grazing, organic farming, native hedgerows and natural pollination.
