This minor allows students to study the sustainability of agricultural food systems from an integrated perspective, including coursework, practical experience, and community reflection.
Required courses and courses from the foundational clusters—land and public policy; agriculture, environment, and natural resources; and citizens, science, and society—define the students’ minor curriculum. In addition, each student works with a minor adviser to design an individualized practical experience in some aspect of sustainable agriculture (i.e., an internship, experiential learning opportunity, etc.). Through the student-led seminar series, What’s Up in Sustainable Agriculture (WUSA), and the senior capstone, students synthesize their learning about sustainability for local, national and global agricultural food systems.
