This course builds upon all earlier courses, including AGRI 1000, agriculture and food systems. The intersection of issues involving agricultural systems and policies, animal science, plant science, agricultural engineering, food production and processing, and soil science along with social science are investigated to obtain a deeper understanding of the many dimensions that influence well-being.
