We need many more gardeners and farmers, both locally and nationally, to grow food. Do you want to learn to raise food ecologically?
ASU offers courses. See agroecology courses in the Sustainable Development Department. SD3100 Principles of Agroecology provides ecological principles in farming. We teach a Garden Practicum course during the summer.
