Arboretum Education: Sustainable Agriculture in the Third World
Starts Tue, Oct 20, 10:00 AM · Free
About the class
This Arboretum Education talk at the Reading Public Museum looks at sustainable agriculture in the developing world. Andrew Gerlicz, a professor with the University of Vermont Institute of Agroecology, shares his work with indigenous farmers on soil health and growing practices that keep land productive over the long term.
He focuses on the challenges facing small coffee and cacao farmers and the practices that help them meet those challenges. The program is built for adults who want to learn more about farming, soil and food systems beyond Berks County.
Arboretum Education programs are held in the museum's auditorium unless another location is announced. This is a free program, and no registration is needed, so you can simply come to the museum at 500 Museum Road in Reading and take a seat.
