New Entry Sustainable Farming Project
In conjunction with the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project ( NESFP), students enrolled in the AFE program have access to five working farm sites (approximately 40 acres) within an hour's reach. The sites are used for field excursions focused on subjects such as soil science, conservation practices, irrigation, and crop science. Students have the opportunity to study agricultural policy and programming in action, including pesticide certification, Animal Plant Health Inspection Service permitting, and U.S. Department of Agriculture conservation programs. In addition, NESFP sites allow Tufts' students the opportunity to study many social, political, and historical aspects of immigrant farming populations -populations that continue to be crucial in reinvigorating local agriculture in New England.
The New Entry Sustainable Farming Project is an excellent platform for students to gain practical experience in all aspects of agricultural enterprise development and non-profit programming. The project has involved over 25 students in past work, and continues to offer exciting opportunities for research and internships.
For more information, visit the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project website.
