Sustainable Agriculture
Sponsored by the Masters in Environmental and Sustainability Studies program, Sustainable Agriculture manages and operates mutliple student gardens, including a large garden at the Stono River Preserve and three urban gardens at downtown campus.
The gardens are managed by a team of graduate assistants and undegraduate interns. All students are able (and encouraged) to receive academic credit for their work with Sustainable Agriculture.
While many of our students are receiving their education in Environmental and Sustainability Studies, there are opportunities for students in all fields to become involved as we have partnerships with many on-campus and off-campus organizations.
The graduate garden staff provides a volunteer-base for our efforts and informs decisions about workshops, produce offerings, and marketing.
