Sustainable Agriculture 1

This class is focused on learning essential gardening and farming methods that do not harm the soil, air, or water for future generations. Students will plan, plant, compost, save seeds, use garden tools/ equipment and develop a variety of growing techniques in the school garden. In addition, students will investigate factors that affect plant health, growth, and reproduction by designing and conducting experiments in the garden. Students will use prior knowledge, new know-ledge, and experience in the class to think critically about how our current food system operates to develop real solutions to change social and environmental problems.
