Agriculture touches every aspect of our lives. In this module you will have an opportunity to explore how agriculture can be employed with educational and therapeutic intent. Agriculture provides the raw materials for crafts and food. The production of these raw materials creates opportunities for an extended repertoire of developmental experiences for learners with special educational needs. In this module you will experience how biodynamic ecology (Field 3) sets out to forge relationships between universe, Earth and people, and how the principles, theories and practices of biodynamic ecology are integral to PSTE. You will have the opportunity to compare PSTE with the approach of other providers and to reflect deeply on your experience of the module. During this module you will experience a range of practical skills and continue with making items of service.
