Now you can find the secret to organic farming and livestock not in the great outdoors, but on the Internet. Four Web-based courses are available across Canada, thanks to the combined efforts of the Ontario Agriculture Centre of Canada and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College. These programs, offered both for credit and not for credit, provide valuable support to those who want to move into organic production.

The introductory-level courses transition to organic agriculture, composting skills, organic field crop management and organic livestock production offer current research, hands-on activities and on-line discussions. They include resource manuals, textbooks and computer-based quizzes. For more information, visit organicagcentre.ca, e-mail cde@nsac.ns.ca or call 902-893-6666.
