Re: Undergraduate Organic Farming?

Better late than never, here's a good resource for organizations and
institutions with programs in sustainable agriculture, including organic. 

"Educational and Training Opportunities in Sustainable Agriculture" 
is available in print, or at gopher and WWW sites, as described below.

The Alternative Farming Systems Information Center (AFSIC), at the 
National Agricultural Library (NAL), produces "Educational and Training 
Opportunities in Sustainable Agriculture", updated each fall.  

If you know of a program that should be added to this resource, be sure 
to contact AFSIC to have it included in the 1996 edition.
