Overview

Bachelor of Applied Science in Sustainable Agriculture

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Sustainable Agriculture degree is unique to North America and is distinguished from other agriculture degree programs by providing a broad scope of study related to sustainable food production as an integral and fundamentally critical element of sustainable human existence. 

Through a distinctive and exceptional combination of classroom and farm-based learning, the program at KPU offers a comprehensive perspective on:

  • The science of agroecosystem design and stewardship;
  • Innovative and ecologically sound crop production methods;
  • Sustainable farm business management; and,
  • The economic, social, and environmental challenges facing our food system

The curriculum is designed in recognition of the need for both practical and academic training within the new powerful movement in sustainable agriculture. 

Students will be immersed in a setting that fosters experiential learning and exploring personal interests and inclinations. 

Individuals interested in gaining a practical understanding of sustainably growing food for their communities as well as those who wish to see this type of local-regional agriculture and food system integrated fully into society. 

This program will appeal to students who recognize that environmental stewardship and community involvement are critical to our food system and who wish to be part of a new approach to agriculture. 

Students looking for creative, hands-on work on farms and in the community will thrive in this program.
