UC Santa Cruz Center for Agroecology

UC Santa Cruz Center for Agroecology is a research, education and public service organization dedicated to advancing agroecology and equitable food systems.

Rooted in the Division of Social Sciences at UC Santa Cruz, the Center for Agroecology is an organization of staff, faculty, and students who work to advance agroecology and equitable food systems through experiential education, participatory research, agricultural extension, and public service.
50+ years of experiential education

The Center manages the Alan Chadwick Garden, a 3-acre organic and bio-diverse garden on the UCSC campus founded in 1967, and the UCSC Farm, a 30-acre organic farm founded in 1971 that serves as an outdoor classroom and research site. For more than 50 years these sites have hosted students, residential apprentices, and community members who learn about organic gardening, farming, and the food system. A portion of our staff work on the Farm and Garden, teaching learners and maintaining the spaces.
