This course focuses on the social processes and cultural mechanisms that underlie everyday agricultural practices, in the U.S. and abroad. By comparing agriculture and food systems between the U.S. and other countries, the course helps students appreciate distinctiveness of each society's effort to build agricultural sustainability and recognize the common challenges of such an effort in the context of globalized agricultural trade and food production. Prereq: SAG 210. This course comprises a portion of the Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
