This workshop will focus on the educational (University) and Technical Programs geared towards Organic Horticulture. Universities vary greatly in their organic programs, student interest in organic programs, and facilities. Similarly, the technical assistance provided from growers varies from state to state. Recent Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) programming, has created more interest in providing this assistance. This workshop will focus on discussing the challenges to organic education both at the undergraduate and farmer level.
