The teaching garden enters its ninth growing season
Nine years of continuous records make the food sovereignty track one of the few that can teach from a long series rather than a snapshot.

The teaching garden was laid out in 2016 as the practical ground for what became the food sovereignty track. Students sow, harvest and record there from their first term.
Nine unbroken seasons of yield, soil and weather records are now the course material for FOOD201, Growing at Scale on a Small Plot. A run of that length lets a student see a bad year next to a good one, which a single season cannot teach.
