Developing sustainable agriculture education in Canada

Stuart Hill and Rod MacRae

Agriculture and Human Values, 1988, vol. 5, issue 4, 92-95

Abstract: In a number of surveys, Canadian farmers have found the absence of information to be a major obstacle to the development of sustainable agriculture. The traditional sources of information for farmers have been unable to provide them with suitable information. One reason for this deficiency is the absence of suitable training for agriculture professionals. The details of a newly created course designed to address these problems at the Faculty of Agriculture of McGill University are provided, and some suggestions made about the pedagogy and course content of an entire program.
