ENV 204 - CLIMATE CHANGE AND AGRICULTURE

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Environmental Science

Description:

Climate change is a complex and broad topic that poses many challenges to the physical, social, and economic realms. Climate change, driven largely by the anthropogenic burning of fossil fuels, will strain ecosystems and, more specifically, agriculture. This course focuses on understanding the natural and human processes behind climate change and how those processes interface with the agricultural practices. This course is intended as a theoretical introduction to climate change in the context of agriculture and is supported by application of climate science in 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (ENV 200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand-alone introduction to the concepts of soil science.
