SD 3420 - Agroecology for Climate Action (3) [WID]

When Offered: On Demand
GEN ED: Junior Writing in the Discipline (WID)
The climate crisis threatens the wellbeing of all life on earth for generations to come. Modern, high-input agriculture has increased greenhouse gas emissions, reduced the resilience of ecosystems, and resulted in uneven development. This course takes as a given that transformational change to our agricultural systems must play a role in securing a just and livable climate future. Students examine how agroecological transformations can provide equitable strategies for climate adaptation and just transitions. Students also synthesize evidence for the effectiveness, adoption, and equity of different agroecology for climate action strategies, and they engage in writing for research, policy, and advocacy.
Prerequisite:  RC 2001  or its equivalent
