A great insight into building sustainable farms. Some of the materials need to be updated though. Also no one seems to be monitoring the forums. Other than that, the course itself is quite useful.

Friendly class for new college students. Easy to follow lectures and important materials makes the class great. I would love to see the farm in person, or make a small scale one on my own property.

Loved the course. Would've liked to see more about the impacts of fertilizer use on eutrophication in lakes and oceans, and the impacts of herbicides on biodiversity and pollinators.

This is a nice course for a beginner in sustainable agriculture. I am a PhD student and it was an easy but useful course for me.\n\nI would like to work on this project in future.
