UGA going Organic?
The University of Georgia is starting a new program for undergraduates this fall that will teach them about local food. The courses will be offered to every student even those with English, Math, or other majors not related to horticulture. The University is trying to give students the oppurtunity to learn about the production of local foods. The students in the program will work in community gardens around Athens. In 2010 students created an on campus garden called the UGArden. Students are becoming very interested in local and organic food which is a good sign for the future of agriculture in our country. You can read more about this new program here.

It's good to see people are catching on and paying more attention to food. My sister goes to UGA, so I'll have to tell her about this! Thanks for the info.
