Growing Connections
Growing Connections is a nine-course sequence of courses that focuses on the history, theories, and practices of sustainable agriculture. The expertise of faculty teaching in this program range from biology, geology, and psychology to environmental history, Asian religions, and sustainable systems. Student participants in Growing Connections work closely with faculty mentors and regional farmers in classrooms, labs, and fields to develop a comprehensive understanding of the role that agriculture plays in the lives of individuals and their communities.
Students interested in completing the Growing Connections program should register for the Sustainable Food and Agriculture four-course block in the fall of their first year. Commitments to the full program will be accepted during the first semester of classes.
