Grow Your
Own…
An NSAC Summer Workshop Series
Eating real food and choosing local products are two simple
but effective ways to support healthy, sustainable communities.
Another is to start on your own food production journey by
growing your own.
NSAC is offering a series of hands-on, practical workshops
to teach the science behind the food production journey – from
soil to plate. A workshop on Weeds, Tools and Pests will be
offered on July 19th. As well as a workshop on Preserving your
Bounty is being offered on August 21st.
“
At a time when we worry about our vulnerability in being reliant
on food from far away, what could be a more positive response
than to grow food for ourselves on our own properties and our
own community gardens?” explained Dr. Tarjei Tennessen,
head, department of Plant and Animal Sciences. “At NSAC,
we can show you how to manage the green urban garden and how
to make the best use of it for your own personal, extremely
local food production.”
“We are pleased to be able to offer these workshops to those interested
in producing some of their own food.” Said Continuing and Distance Education
Program Manager Tracy Kittilsen. “The information will give participants
an understanding of the principles and practices of producing food that is not
only local, but safe for themselves and the environment.”
NSAC is a specialized university that cultivates learning and research, focusing
on improving and sustaining our environment for the health and well-being of
society.
