Sustainable agriculture focuses on production that renews resources. The program is about more than environmental awareness. It is also about the farming community. Urban sprawl has inflated land prices. Small farmers, unable to deal with rising taxes, diminished markets for traditional crops, and supply and equipment costs, are loosing their farms. CCCC also offers the Sustainable Building Program. Harvey Harman teaches in both programs.
