Urban agriculture takes many forms in cities around the world and provides significant amounts of food and other resources and benefits for urban communities. This Earth Systems practicum explores the application of agroecological principles to the design and stewardship of urban farms and gardens. Students will explore social and ecological dimensions of urban agriculture including issues of environmental justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion while gaining land stewardship and small-scale food production skills at the Stanford Educational Farm. This is a 20-week (Winter and Spring quarters) Cardinal Course. Students will work with a community-based organization over both quarters to gain practical experience in the field. Students are required to enroll in and complete both Winter ( EARTHSYS 181A, 2 units) and Spring ( EARTHSYS 181B, 2 units) courses to receive credit for a total of 4 units.
