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