Agroecology

Agroecology, with its emphasis on biological systems, is an important part of the growing effort to make human activities compatible with natural ecosystems.  Whereas modern education teaches a specialized, urban curriculum preparing youth for upward mobileity, it ignores the cultural and practical knowledge needed for a successful, post-fossil-fuel world.

Sustainable living requires people who:

• Understand ecosystem functions
• Understand the process of agricultural production
• Understand social and economic systems
• Participate in management and decision-making processes

Students leave Merry Lea better equipped for lives of thought and purpose in their homes, communities and world.
