Alternative Land Use Practices for Sustainable Landscapes 3100025

 

This course, with the following information, is currently not scheduled:

Description:

In our day-to-day lives we consume goods and enjoy services. We must continue to grasp the realization that that all our consumables are derived one way or the other from natural resources such as, the soil (land), water, air, vegetation, wildlife, solar energy etc. The earth is a system where resources are intimately connected. It’s essential to recognize the linkage between land and water resources and associated environmental problems such as degradation, desertification, contamination of water resources, falling water table, coral reef destruction, global climate change, diminished wetlands, species extinction, ozone layer depletion, and rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels impacting the system.

This course will give you the opportunity to explore important principles of sacred resource management strategies designed to obtain sustainability through political, social, economical and environmental solutions. Your attention will also be drawn to current Ontario provincial regulations such as the Nutrient Management Act and also the intended Water Quality Act.
