ENVS 336 - Practicum in Agroecology at the George Jones Farm I

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 ENVS 336 (second module spring) with ENVS 337 (first module fall). Field trip(s) required.

Prerequisites: BIOL 102 or BIOL 103 or ENVS 101.
