A Focus on Natural & Organic Resources
Where your business resources come from, where they go when you’re done with them, and the impact of their original acquisition on the environment, are major concerns in the context of sustainability.

The natural and organic resources concentration covers the practices and procedures associated with organic farming and food production, and their effect on individual and communities’ health.
