Freshwater quality and climate change mitigation are inexplicably linked to the whole country creating a sustainable  environment. The goal of a sustainable future is for both urban and rural New Zealand to tackle together and one that our Level 4 NZQA registered course can help provide some of the  knowledge for!

The main topics (in no particular order) include:

• Soil and soil health
• Food forests and shelter
• Food Safety
• Intensive food growing
• Water conservation and wetlands
• Regenerative agriculture
• Permaculture
• Biodynamics and seed saving
• Birds and Bees

And this is what we’ve heard from our Nelson coordinator:

1. They have just made it FEES FREE.  Whoooooppppp 😉
   
2. We are going to do the lectures at Todd Valley
3. I’d like to start on Sunday 10 September so we need to move fast! 
4. While Hort level 3 is a prerequisite, I’m prepared to consider experience in the area and good learning skills as an alternative.
