Education Services

Hebert Green Agroecology provides subject matter expertise and curriculum development assistance, as well as guest lectures, customized workshops, or training sessions for organizations, businesses, and institutions in any area of sustainable agriculture. We have over twenty years of experience developing curricula, teaching courses, and making presentations to adults with diverse backgrounds on a range of topics from disease diagnosis to the history of the organic movement.

Extension Services for Organic Farmers

We initiated a consulting service for farmers needing immediate advice on any aspect of organic production, through site visits or phone chats with qualified professionals. This is now managed by a new non-profit organization based in Atlanta. Hebert Green Agroecology continues to work with Organic Extension Underground, and we encourage you to visit their website for more information and to arrange a consultation.

We're good at conveying information and skills in a compelling way--but we don't know everything. Then we capitalize on outside experts to collaborate on an experience that will achieve what you want.

Please contact us to talk about how Hebert Green Agroecology may be able to help you!

Some possibilities:

• A basic primer for businesses that sometimes intersect with organic food or farming--an "Organic 101" for supermarkets, banks, realtors, garden centers, and so on.


• A workshop on any aspect of organic production, including fertility management, pest control, water and soils, season extension, and so on.
• Objective talks on the scientific evidence supporting or refuting claims for organic food and farming: Is organic food better for you? Is organic farming better for the environment? Can it feed the world?
• An illustrated history of organic farming and alternative agriculture.
• Presentations for sustainable agriculture support organizations in areas of plant disease control (see some examples).
• A seminar on systems thinking and how it applies to organic farming.
