A great insight into building sustainable farms. Some of the materials need to be updated though. Also no one seems to be monitoring the forums. Other than that, the course itself is quite useful.

Friendly class for new college students. Easy to follow lectures and important materials makes the class great. I would love to see the farm in person, or make a small scale one on my own property.

This is a nice course for a beginner in sustainable agriculture. I am a PhD student and it was an easy but useful course for me.\n\nI would like to work on this project in future.

Loved the course. Was a great and sometimes challenging overview of sustainable practices in farming. I hope to someday visit the Future Farm in Western Australia! Thank you!
常见问题
我什么时候能够访问课程视频和作业？
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
- The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
- The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
