Agricultural Biotechnology
Agriculture and biotechnology are among the fastest-growing industries in the United States. Students learn how biotechnology can improve food production, sustainability, and public health — while developing entrepreneurial skills through farm-based enterprises.
Students are assigned agricultural plots at the Canoe Creek Rec Center where they learn sustainable farming, food production, environmental stewardship, and business management. Through student-operated farmers market initiatives, learners gain firsthand experience in budgeting, sales, marketing, logistics, and customer service — a complete educational cycle connecting science, agriculture, entrepreneurship, and community service.
