The Certificate in Regenerative Agriculture is designed to prepare students to work in the field of regenerative agriculture. It demonstrates the benefits of increasing carbon sequestration in the land through regenerative techniques. Grazing and farming occur on these lands and there is an opportunity now to change human behavior and beliefs towards farming to foster the idea of entrepreneurship and reduce the need for farm subsidies. This program takes a multi-disciplinary approach to effect positive change on planet Earth. This program will include courses from four different disciplines: Park Management, Biology, Nutrition, and Business. Possible career options are Regenerative Ag Consultant, Field Organizer, Farm Worker, Soil Advocate, Farm Manager, Conservation Specialist, and Soil Scientist.
