On the Farm

The Yale Farm is a special place on campus. Through the practice of farming, students care for soil, plants, animals, and one another. The Yale Farm provides a problem-rich environment for problem-based learning.

In the Classroom

Food systems exhibit complexity across scales and contexts. By introducing food systems problems into Yale courses, the YSFP enriches disciplinary learning and stimulates creative and critical inter-disciplinary thinking.

Around the World

What is sustainable agriculture or sustainable food? The most sustainable approach is largely dependent upon the specific context of place and people. By working in partnership with people and organizations around the world, the YSFP introduces Yale students to the rich diversity of possible sustainable futures.
