Sustainable Agriculture Minor

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 student's minor curriculum. In addition, each student works with a minor adviser to design an individualized practical experience (e.g., internship, experiential learning opportunity) in some aspect of sustainable agriculture. Through the Issues in Sustainable Agriculture course, students synthesize their learning about sustainability for local, national, and global agricultural food systems.
