The Agriculture, Food and Horticulture
Program of the Centre for Continuing & Distance Education (CCDE) coordinates various types
of learning activities for adults in five identified target audiences:
- Farmer
- Agri-busines
- Professional Agrologist
- International Agriculturalist
- Home Gardener
The learning activities are coordinated in conjunction with faculty
and research scientists at the University of Saskatchewan and other
research centres, and in cooperation with producer organizations
across the Prairies. Our learning activities include conferences,
workshops, tours, evening and weekend courses, publications, and
computer disks. The Agriculture and Horticulture portions of the program also
coordinate a number of certificate courses. Some certificate courses
can be credited towards a diploma or degree, while other certificate
courses are non-transferable to a diploma or degree.
