This course examines agriculture’s vital role in addressing global sustainability challenges, including food security, water scarcity, soil health, biodiversity loss, climate change, and renewable energy. Students will investigate how agriculture both contributes to and provides solutions for these issues through case studies, discussions, and hands-on projects. Emphasis is placed on sustainable practices and innovations such as regenerative farming, hydroponics, aquaponics, and precision agriculture, alongside emerging technologies like robotics and data-driven decision-making.
Key topics include irrigation and water management, food waste reduction strategies, ecosystem restoration, and the “food vs. fuel” debate in bioenergy production. Students will also analyze how local and global policies shape agricultural sustainability and compare international approaches to building resilient food systems.
By the end of the course, students will integrate scientific, economic, and social perspectives to propose practical, region-specific solutions for advancing a more sustainable agricultural future. This class is designed for students interested in agriculture, environmental science, global studies, and innovation.
