Changing Agriculture Theme Option

Changing demographics, environmental issues, and social-political trends in California all play a role in public perceptions and policies related to our food and fiber systems, natural resources, and community values. These perceptions, policies, and values need to be critically examined in the context of larger global economic trends and environmental health and safety. In this option group of courses, students can explore a range of challenging issues related to the complex interplay between rural and urban needs and values.

Topics might include holistic approaches to agriculture; international migration and agricultural development; and how plants and animals influence the course of history.
