Education and Research Partnerships

The Student Organic Farm has many strong Education and Research Partnerships that allow us to engage a broader diversity of issues and people across campus and the state.  These dynamic and interdisciplinary partnerships bring together students and faculty utilizing the Student Organic Farm as a living laboratory where research and transformative learning take place.  Knowledge and experience gained at the SOF form the foundation for many outreach activities based on our partnerships.
