University of Guelph in Ontario Canada just announced a program offering a major in organic farming. I would suggest you have your civic looked at again. I drove mine for 12 years and got a very reliable 4.8 liters /100km summer and about 5.5 liters/100km winter. Running 94% octane. (that's

Hi Paul Prescott College in Prescott, Arizona seems to have a good environmental program that includes Agroecology. They encourage people to do independent study, so you could probably have a lot of freedom in planning what you want to learn. Check our their website and give them a call. The
