Facilitating Sustainable Agriculture: A Participatory National Conference on Post-Secondary Education
The goal of the conference is to facilitate a national, cross-disciplinary dialogue on learning and teaching that informs and promotes the continued development of educational programs in sustainable agriculture. The conference will use an interactive, participatory format. Specific conference content will be determined largely by the conference participants. To help identify the specific goals and objectives of conference participants, all registrants will be asked to fill out a Needs Assessment and Interest Form (see details below). Based upon preliminary assessments, we have identified a number of probable content areas, including: * the current state of sustainable agriculture education in US colleges and universities; * course and program content and teaching methods used in sustainable agriculture education; * the roles of interdisciplinary studies and experiential learning; * critical analysis of learning and education theories, pedagogies and curricula; * assessment of specific program development needs for sustainable agriculture education; * forming collaborations to facilitate the development of sustainable agriculture programs; and, * strategies for developing sustainable agriculture as a field of study to meet defined education and training needs.
