Solid Ground Skills Training
Jun 7th, 2010 by SFU Local Food Project
The Urban Agricultural Skills Training Program is a workshop series designed to equip SFU students and community members with the skills to produce, nurture, preserve, and prepare their own food. Participants will also engage in discussions of our food systems both locally and globally and gain tools to create change in their own lives and communities.
