Introd Sustain Agric & Society.

Catalog description

Sustainable agriculture integrates three main goals--environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity. A variety of philosophies, policies and practices have contributed to these goals. Sustainability rests on the principle that we must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Therefore, this course emphasizes the importance of stewardship of both natural and human resources with specific focus on agriculture and society in general.
