Creating Hands-on Sustainable Agriculture Educational Opportunities for Place-Bound Students in Idaho and Washington
Grant
Overview
abstract
Interest in sustainable agriculture and associated niche markets has greatly increased over the past two decades; however, the demand for educational opportunities in sustainable agriculture in rural areas of the Pacific Northwest is not being met. This project targets the development of effective distance-based sustainable agriculture educational courses to rural place-based, underserved clientele that have an interest in more sustainable food and fiber systems.
