Module
I: Introduction to Sustainable Agriculture
2 to 6 hours
This module is designed to be taught in 5 hours
as a stand-alone unit on sustainable agriculture.
However, an instructor can just use Sections A
and B from this module, especially if it is being
combined with one of the other modules in this
curriculum. Conversely, if the teacher decides
to incorporate a field trip or have the class
do in-depth projects, the module will take more
than 5 hours.
Guiding Questions for Module I
1. What is sustainability in agriculture and
food systems?
2. What can farmers and consumers do to move towards
sustainability?
