Description:
The Sustainable Agriculture Production Skills Certificate program is designed to provide farmers and gardeners with a foundation in the techniques of sustainable food production and the "how-to" aspects of organic gardening and farming.
Students will engage actively in their learning experience by working on SRJC's Shone Farm, participating in the production and distribution of sustainable agriculture products, and participating with local farmers to discover and support best practices.
For more information about this program and others see the Agriculture Department website.
It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year
institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are
intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities,
specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a
counselor,
visit the Transfer Center,
and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors,
and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
