Summer Pre-College for High School Students in Sustainable Farming & Food Systems

July 26, 2015 - August 1, 2015

Are you interested in learning more about where your food comes from? Or how does your food get to your plate? And where does the waste go afterwards?

Join one of the leading university Sustainable Food and Farming programs in the nation for an immersion in sustainability and food systems. In this one-week course, students will gain hands-on experience in the local food system as well as comprehensive understanding of the U.S. Food System. This program will focus on three areas in our food system:

  1. sustainability and systems thinking,
  2. social justice, and
  3. agricultural leadership.

This week will include at least 2 field trips and hands-on experience at local farms.
