Sustainable Local Food Certification

[Announcement from he-sl listserv]

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to pass along the following information about an online certification program offered through St Lawrence College on sustainable local food, urban agriculture, and food security. With the spread of service-learning projects addressing these issues and the rise of community gardens, this certification is a valuable professional development opportunity. Please pass along to others that may be interested.
