Urban Organic Farming Practices focuses on equipping participants with hands-on skills and knowledge essential for cultivating sustainable agricultural practices in urban settings. The course emphasizes practical applications, enabling learners to engage in project-based activities that foster innovation in organic farming. Participants will explore various methods of urban agriculture, including vertical gardening, community-supported agriculture (CSA), and permaculture principles, all while addressing the unique challenges and opportunities presented by urban environments.
Through interactive workshops and collaborative projects, attendees will gain insights into soil health, crop selection, and pest management tailored for urban landscapes. The course culminates in a final project where participants will design and implement an urban organic farming initiative, allowing them to apply their learning in a real-world context. This comprehensive approach not only enhances participants’ expertise but also encourages them to share their findings and experiences through publication opportunities in Cademix Magazine.
