Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) is a technology-based approach to food production and farming that allows farmers/growers/food producers and agri-tech businesses to optimize their growing conditions and resource management. Students participate in growing and research activities in both a smaller geodesic greenhouse, as well as a large-scale greenhouse.
The purpose of SFCC’s CEA program is to revitalize agricultural traditions and develop sustainable growing systems, methods and practices in controlled environment greenhouses using aquaponics and hydroponics that support local food systems and promote economic development through food innovation and entrepreneurship.
SFCC’s CEA program offers students the opportunity to earn any or all of the following credentials:
- Controlled Environment Agriculture, A.A.S.
- Algae Cultivation Certificate
- Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Certificate
