EARTH university, located in Costa Rica, is a place where sustainable agriculture literally grows.
Its campus is filled with gardens, small farms, parcels of land, all with different strategies for organic and biodynamic farming, from all over the world.
The "Mandela" farm, designed for small plots of land, has a pond in the centre for fish farming, and is encircled by 9 rings, each with a different crop. The four interior ones for household consumption, and 4 outer ones for commercial purposes, and one outer ring for ornamental and protective purposes. Very cool.
EARTH University works with farmers nearby on capacity building to ensure not only their graduates (who come from worldwide), but farmers everywhere in Costa Rica can learn biodynamic and sustainable agriculture practices, that enhance and protect natural resources, for a better future.
