In addition to proprietary content, our system is intended to allow a teacher from any institution to create courses. A course may include any number of lessons. Ask your representative to demonstrate.

Once published, contributing institutions and/or authors participate in revenue derived from their course(s).

It is recommended that each school should

Schedule

• Adapt calendars to recognize the growing environment, which typically will not conform to existing schedules
• Develop optional short courses and seminars
• Facilitate independent study and practicum

Configure

• Reconfigure classroom space for hydroponics instruction
• Promote hands-on laboratory farming experience

Promote

• Select qualified students for follow-up courses on managerial and entrepreneurial aspects of the urban farming business
• Combine training with an associated vegetable production enterprise (this might take the form of internal distribution, e.g., to an in-house cafeteria, or perhaps link your program to DECA)
• Define terms of about 60 classroom hours plus lab time for a basic technical certificate; one or two semesters depending on school calendar and extra-curricular activity

The early hygiene, safety and food handling components may qualify students for part or full time employment even before they complete the entire curriculum.
