AGRO 4605 - Data-Driven Agronomy (3 Cr.)
Course description
Some of humanity's greatest challenges are related to agriculture. The human population continues to grow, and food, fuel, and fiber production are critical to improving human lives around the world. In this course, students will learn the principles of crop production and apply those principles to address real-world agricultural challenges using quantitative tools and skills. Students will learn how to find, access, and use publicly available data to better make decisions in agriculture. Group activities will require students to synthesize information from peer-reviewed research and apply that information to practical problems. This class includes trips to field research plots to collect data, organize it, and analyze it to test hypotheses and solve problems. Discussions and labs will be interactive and will require individual and group-level critical thinking.
