A brief description of the certificate program:
One Year Eco Farmer Certificate: http://www.mum.edu/sustainable-living/ecofarmer
Enter our New Eco-Farmer program and become a change maker in the fresh, local and organic farming sector, which is increasing sales at a rate of 15-20% a year in the US. Leave behind industrial agriculture with its animal confinements, pollution, ecological destruction, GMO crops, and junk food production. Take a first step to enter the new paradigm of the Eco-Farmer, who works to enrich the natural biology of the soil so well it provides all the nutrients and protections that plants need to flourish – and produce truly healthy food in the process.
From understanding and participating in natural cycles through permaculture principles, to planning your own organic family farm, to learning what makes up healthy soil and learning to heal damaged and degraded farmland – you will engage in a comprehensive program that will prepare you to step into the world of holistic farming. Our consciousness / natural law based approach takes students beyond standard organics to an understanding of themselves as a part of the ecological whole, working in tune with nature.
THIS CERTIFICATE WILL NOT BE OFFERED IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2014-2015 DUE TO CURRICULUM CHANGES - WE MAY INTRODUCE IT AGAIN IN 2015-2016
