There is still time left to register for ONLINE classes starting January 20 in Sustainable/Urban Agriculture at Triton College!

[Benjamin Newton]

Triton College’s Sustainable Agriculture Technology (SAT) AAS and Sustainable Food Production certificate program is for working professionals that have an interest in changing the food system as most of the courses are online and hybrid.   In-district cost no matter your home address of $108 per credit plus fees for those considering transitioning into urban agriculture and need more knowledge of sustainable food systems.  The Sustainable Food Production certificate is a total of 13 credits and 5 courses and can be finished in two semesters.   

Different policies for different types of urban farms, composting, soil safety, and aquaculture, hydroponics, and aquaponics are covered.   There are many great non-profits and internships offering the valuable hands on skills for growing food. The biggest challenges are navigating the complex policies, issues, markets, reductionist sciences, and tremendous funding opportunities available to food systems entrepreneurs.
