ENVS 336 - Practicum in Agroecology at the George Jones Farm Part 1

HC NSMA

2 credits
Current agricultural methods have been widely recognized as unsustainable, contributing to climate change, reducing biodiversity, depleting soil, and polluting air and water. Agroecology is a field of study and a set of practices that focus on sustainable food production. Through lectures, practical experiences and projects at the George Jones Farm and required field trips this course will provide hands-on experience in the ecology and, to a lesser extent, the economics of small-scale agricultural enterprises. Students will normally combine Part1 (2nd module Spring) with Part2 (1st module Fall). Field Trips Required.
Prerequisites & Notes: ENVS 101, BIOL 102 or BIOL 103.
