The Guelph Centre for Urban Organic Farming is a 1 hectare learning facility established at the Arboretum of the University of Guelph to complement the academic B. Sc. (Agr) Major in Organic Agriculture. Its mandate is to offer hands-on learning in organic market gardening, urban agriculture, resource conservation, and a suite of other life skills central to food security and safety in a resource- limited era.

Garden2Table is a student run project of the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. The program aims to provide children with enjoyable education about food, agriculture, and their natural environment - primarily to positively influence their food choices.
