ENV 320 Permaculture Principles and Applications I

4 credit hours

Through a mix of lectures, field trips, and field work, students will be introduced to the history and design principles in permaculture. This course will explore how ecological principles and horticultural techniques are applied in permaculture systems. We will investigate existing permaculture and regenerative farms to identify the design principles at work and determine if they are having their intended sustainability results. Coursework will be supplemented by on-site field work.
