| HORT 120 - Gardening and Sustainable Food Systems |

This class will focus on experiential learning in the garden on how to grow plants from seed to harvest (or to seed again) particularly those plant varietals that are regionally appropriate. We will develop an understanding of sustainable food systems, including growing edible plants at a variety of scales, methods of sustainable agriculture, and methods to improve regional food security. We will also explore the impacts of industrial agriculture on ecosystems, human rights, and health. Lab included.
