Agroecology Learning Garden at the Cal Poly CAFES Experimental Farm

The goal of this site is to act as a living laboratory in support of student and faculty research and teaching related to agroecology and sustainable food systems. The garden is comprised of 36 raised experimental beds and a shaded outdoor classroom with seating for 50 students. The garden serves as an outdoor classroom and laboratory for a variety of course, as the the focal point for work with students to develop gardening skills, as well as for ongoing research projects with undergraduate and MS students concerning the ecological evaluation of perennial grain and vegetable intercropping systems.
