About

Center for Agroecology students gain hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture and food systems. We’re raising funds to support our paid student workers—essential team members who help keep the UCSC Farm & Garden and our other sites and programming thriving. These student staff members support our research, education, and public service programming while developing leadership skills and real-world knowledge.

Your support creates meaningful opportunities for students to grow as changemakers, connect with the land, and contribute to a more just and resilient food future. Funds raised will go directly toward student wages, ensuring that these transformative learning experiences remain accessible to all.

We hope you enjoy our student-produced video (above)! Thank you for your support.
