After completing this course, students will understand what it takes to start an urban farm and how implementing systems and standardized production practices expands a farm's capacity to produce food. At the end of the program, participants will be able to write a simple business plan and have the information necessary to move forward with their urban farming goals.
We recommend you have at least two years experience growing food prior to attending this program.
