Course Description:

• In this course, students will engage in the scientific discipline of agroecology. Agroecology (agriculture and ecology) is a scientific discipline that uses ecological theory and traditional knowledge to study, design, and manage agricultural ecosystems that are productive and resource-conserving. Students will be immersed in conversations and analysis of ecological sustainability, social equity, and climate change resilience with a goal of identifying problems and developing sustainable solutions in our food and agricultural system both locally and globally. Through the duration of this course, students will practice scientific and engineering processes, perform laboratory and fieldwork and learn alongside industry workers to examine both scientific and human dimensions of our food system.
