ATI - Food Production
You have been sent to live in a virtual desert, and you must provide food for your family... McDonald's is nowhere to be seen!
What is there to eat?
How many of us really know from where food comes from, how to prepare meals from scratch, and even how to determine the nutritional value of what we are consuming?
Unfortunately, most of what you grow or purchase on your mission field will not come with labels showing Basic Nutrition Information and fat grams.
Your family's and perhaps your entire community's lives depend on your ability to provide good nutrition using the resources that are available in your area.
Food Production includes:
Food Drying, Canning, Solar Cooking, Nutrition, Bee Keeping, Plant Husbandry (irrigation techniques, soil and plant management, intensive gardening and food production systems), Animal Husbandry (herd health, management and product utilization), etc.
Classes give plenty of opportunity for hands-on learning such as working with the soil and plants, baking bread from scratch, and the list goes on. 
You will live in a village setting and prepare meals together in the community kitchen. The village has composting toilets, a shower house and propane lighting. A day of study will include classroom instruction and plenty of fresh air.
