This course offers an in-depth exploration of sustainable, regenerative crop and livestock production on small farms, with a hands-on component emphasizing real-world applications.
Students will engage in field-based learning to complement theoretical knowledge, applying regenerative agriculture practices through projects, lab exercises, and site visits to local small farms. Topics include organic soil health management, integrated pest and weed control, and diversified farm planning that combines specialty crops, alternative crops, and small livestock systems.
