NFUniversity is inviting you to register for our class on Agroecology presented on Thursday, March 11, 2021. Agroecology is a way of farming, and a way of thinking about farming. It takes seriously the idea that a farm is an ecosystem, made up of plants and soil organisms, powered by the sun, subject to disturbances, and resilient, or not.
The National Farmers Union / L’Union Nationale des Fermiers is unique among farm organizations: we advocate for people’s interests against corporate control of our food system.
