RE: My Experience At California's Soil Born Farms - A Peak Into An Organic Urban Farm

in #garden8 years ago

That's awesome that the high school focuses on agriculture! It's so rare to find youth education in agriculture these days.
That's really interesting about the STEM program. I think there will be a huge intersection between technology and agriculture in the coming years and a lot of tech/agro jobs. I also think there has been a false binary between farm technology and sustainable agriculture and that there is a huge potential for technology to foster sustainable agriculture.

I think you got something there. I just hope those graduating in those fields use their talents for as you describe vs. going after the big bucks and working at Monsanto. Although, I worked in the lab and there was never real big bucks as a scientist, you did it for the love of science. A common joke in the lab we had was that a PhD is just a "poor house doctor". Have a nice weekend!
