AGRI 1150

Agriculture is one of the fundamental ways in which humans interact with the natural world, and has a crucial role to play in a sustainable future. This class will cover the history of agriculture and the current food system through the lens of sustainability. We will explore how the dominant paradigm of modern agricultural production developed, connecting structural and historical processes to current issues. We will also learn about movements for sustainable and just food systems and their potential to address climate change and other issues of global concern.
