Sustainable Food Farming

In this course, students will achieve first-hand knowledge of how food begins the journey from seed to table through their participation in the Green Zone and Culinary Lab on campus held in person and virtually. By forging partnerships with local stakeholders, students will learn about sustainable farming techniques, including:

-Tending, planting, and harvesting the land

-Rediscovering traditional practices

-Understanding Packaging, storage and delivery requirements

-Utilizing best practices and techniques in food production and distribution

While focusing on how we can work together to become self-sufficient, students will learn about the politics of food systems and gain awareness of issues related to Native American and rural producers of agriculture, fisheries, the dairy industry, meat, and poultry production.
