Sustainable Food and Farming Program
Stockbridge School of Agriculture Contact: Duane Greene, Program Coordinator, AS in Sustainable Food and Farming The production and marketing of fruit and vegetables are major enterprises in Massachusetts. To maintain these enterprises amidst rising land values, increasing costs of production, and heightened environmental concerns, highly trained and skilled personnel are required. Efficient and environmentally safe methods of land use, water, pesticides, fertilizers, and cropping techniques are stressed. Economic factors which bear upon successful crop and farm management are given particular attention. Farms, laboratories, and greenhouses are available and provide a base for hands-on learning. |
