One of our farmer constituents asked me this question. I had no
answers. Do you?
Do you know of any graduate degree programs in sustainable
agriculture that are adult-learner friendly--for instance, that allow
distance education or have no residency requirement, that are priced
so a family farmer can afford to pursue the degree (or offer
scholarships or other support), that recognize and offer credit for life
experience, and so forth?
Or perhaps there are programs that have these features but aren't
necessarily IN sustainable ag. per se, yet would allow a learner to
pursue studies of sust. ag.-related topics.
Any and all leads I'd appreciate and pass along. Many thanks.

PS--To everyone who replied to my request for women and pesticides
information in October--I now have a bulging file of leads, biblios, and
contacts--very helpful. Thanks!
