Welcome to Organic Agriculture
at the University of Guelph
About Us
Ever wondered what it means when you see the 'organic' label on a carton of milk? Or how organic farmers manage weeds without herbicides? Or which types of organic food are in greatest demand by consumers? Or how the switch to organic farming affects profitability and sustainability? You have come to the right place.
The Organic Agriculture Program of the University of Guelph welcomes you to our website. The University of Guelph , which includes the main campus at Guelph as well as sister campuses at Alfred, Kemptville, and Ridgetown is pleased to offer an array of undergraduate diploma and degree as well as graduate opportunities in the emerging field of organic agriculture. French-speaking students have a choice of specializations in organic agriculture within the 2-year diploma program at Alfred. Undergraduate students may choose to pursue the Major in Organic Agriculture which is available within the 4-year B.Sc.(Agr) degree program at Guelph. Diploma or degree students may also elect specific courses from within the organic repertoire available at Alfred, Guelph, and Kemptville.
Interdisciplinary research programs approaching questions ranging from composting and nutrient management, to crop breeding, weed control, and marketing offer research positions to undergraduate as well as graduate students.
If you are looking for an experiential program that emphasizes contact with organic entrepreneurs, development of independent analytical and decision making skills, and problem solving in a real world setting, the Organic Agriculture Program of Guelph invites you to join us.
