Urban Ag / CEA Greenhouse Production
Urban Ag/CEA Students manage greenhouse spaces at the Harold Benson Farm at Kentucky State University. They also have a collaboration with the Ohio State University Agriculture Research Service ARS USDA where they manage hydroponic systems at the Williams Greenhouse. They have production and research plans in these greenhouse spaces. Students learn propagation, seeding, and transplanting methods. They also develop growing strategies for integrated pest management and plant disease mitigation in controlled environment agriculture spaces. Greenhouses fosters many hands on opportunities and skills.
