Urban farming has become a growing part of the U.S. food economy as it helps reduce the miles food needs to travel, and helps city residents access local, healthy food. Around 15% of the world’s food is now grown in urban areas. Whether you are interested in growing a personal supply of food or contributing to community efforts, this certificate will help you get your hands dirty. We’ll start small and practical by focusing on culinary herbs. Even people who only have one sun-exposed window can grow their favorite flavor and health enhancing herbs. As you build your skills, you can also spread what you learn throughout your community, increasing the number of people taking control over their food production, moving our communities closer to real sustainability. Our Certificate of Excellence programs are avocational, and these courses/programs are designed exclusively for personal or professional development and enhancement

This 100-hour program is perfect for anyone looking to:

• Grow your own food and herbs—even if you only have one sunny window
