Engaging Rural Communities Evaluation

This program involved the engagement of rural communities in modern society by acquiring knowledge, tools and methodologies about sustainable development. Through the concepts learned in class, the works done in groups, videos and especially the field trips I was able to get a much better understanding of what sustainability is and what it involves if we wish to be the agents of change into developing a more sustainable society. Because of this course I will be better equipped for my future en devours both in my educational as well as personal development. Thanks to EARTH University I will leave Costa Rica with a whole new perspective on agriculture, helping me develop new ideas into what I want to do in the future in the field of international agriculture. It has definitely inspired me into keep looking for more educational programs like this one on sustainable agriculture and development in order to redefine the paradigms of modern agriculture and help develop a more sustainable, unified and complete society.
