sustainable agriculture

Prior to this, I had almost zero knowledge of Sustainable Agriculture and it's great the way this course has been able to not only enhance my knowledge of the subject but also generate enough curiosity to look elsewhere other than the course content for Sustainable Agriculture Pracitces.

The Sustainable Agriculture course is more practical and seems to be attracting a more practical-minded, hands-on kind of person than the other course.

Best course to understand sustainable agriculture and it gives insight of best mangement practices and methods of soil and nutrients testing .

The discussion forums are very diverse -- several enviromentalist promoting their ideology, several foreign students looking for useful information about best management practices, some large scale farmers and some small scale farmers and even a few scientists.

There are some specific farm management practices addressed, mainly from Florida, one of our leading agricultural states, but not in great detail.
