Our Program

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Sustainable Agriculture uniquely integrates the science and art of agroecosystem management with deep exploration of the many human and ecological dimensions of food systems. Our students engage in learning through classes, practical training in our seed lab and on our certified organic research and teaching farms, community engagement, and student research projects. The program is located at the KPU Richmond Campus, which is in the heart of the city, and closely connected to Vancouver by SkyTrain.
