CASNR’s new agricultural literacy emphasis kicks off with several new and revised courses next semester.
Chancellor Perlman and the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources defined goals for innovating agriculture and natural resources to 2025. One of these goals is related to the topic of agricultural literacy and more broadly, science literacy. In response to this goal, CASNR faculty have developed a series of new courses and/or revised existing courses that address important issues and challenges for the future of agriculture within the context of natural resource use, management, and long-term global needs and sustainability.
Courses that will be available Spring 2013:
Invasive Plant Science: Impacts on Ecosystems, AGRO/NRES 107, ACE 9
Landscape and Environmental Appreciation, HORT 200, ACE 7 and 9
Energy in Perspective, ENSC 220, ACE 9
Natural Resource Conservation in Society, NRES 111, ACE 8 (proposed)
