Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the following questions.
The concept of urban agriculture may conjure up images of rooftop, backyard or community gardens
scattered among downtown city streets and surrounding neighborhoods. But in the Seattle area, and
within and beyond the Puget Sound region, it means a great deal more. “Urban agriculture doesn’t
necessarily equate to production that occurs only in a metropolitan urban area, “says Jason Niebler, who
directs the Sustainable Agriculture Education (SAgE) Initiative at Seattle Central Community College. “It
means we are providing for growing population food needs from surrounding rural landscapes, as well
as from the core urban landscape.”

Trang 10
 Picture a series of concentric circles, with an urban core that produces some food at varying
capacities, surrounded by a series of outlying rings of small farms that become increasingly more rural
with distance. The hope is that such land use planning, from the inner core to the outer rings, will
encourage local ecologically sound sustainable food production. This, in turn, will create local jobs and
decrease reliance on distant food products that originate from petroleum-intensive large-scale farms.
That’s the idea behind SAgE, believed to be the nation’s Birst metropolitan-based community college
sustainable agriculture program that emphasizes farming practices across diverse landscape types from
urban centers to surrounding rural environs. “It’s small-scale agriculture with an urban focus,” Niebler
says. “Any urban population, large or small, can practice sustainable agriculture, improve food security
and protect the environment, which ultimately results in resilient food systems and communities.”
SAgE is a part of National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Program,
which is providing the project with $157,375 over two years. ATE’s goal is to support projects that
strengthen the skills of technicians who work in industries regarded as vital to the national’s prosperity
and security. The support largely goes to community colleges that work in partnership
with universities, secondary schools, businesses and industries, as well as government agencies, which
design and implement model workforce initiatives.
The SAgE project focuses on the environmental, socioeconomic, political and cultural issues related
to sustainable food systems, within Puget Sound watersheds through student and community education
and research, and technological innovation. The curriculum offers courses that cover such issues as
agricultural ecology, urban food systems, food politics and ethics, soil science, sustainable food
production and technology, the integration of food and forests, and career opportunities.
“We’ve created a curriculum that is fundamental in nature, addressing the principles of sustainable
agriculture and what a food system is – how it functions both locally and globally,” Niebler says. “These
courses are challenging, robust and inspirational. One of the really wonderful things about them is that
we offer service-learning opportunities, where students volunteer a portion of their time to working
with local partner organizations. They can do a research project, or a service-learning option. The ideal
would be to prompt students into careers that involve sustainable practices in an urban agriculture
setting.”
