• ENV 200: REGENERATIVE FIELD LAB

  1.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  Regenerative Agriculture is a system approach to soil, ecosystem, human, environmental, and planetary health. Successful, sustainable outcomes depend on the practical application and integration of theory and knowledge from multiple associated disciplines. This course provides the integrative field experience necessary to prepare students to pursue those sustainable outcomes. This course is intended to be taken for 6 consecutive semesters by majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as an elective and an opportunity to learn more about agriculture, sustainability, climate change, and environmental science.

• ENV 201: FUNDAMENTALS OF REGEN AGRI

  1.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  Regenerative Agriculture is a system approach to soil, ecosystem, human, environmental, and planetary health. Successful, sustainable outcomes depend on the practical application and integration of theory and knowledge from multiple associated disciplines. This course provides the theoretical introduction to Regenerative Agriculture and is supported by application of that theory and integration with other, key disciplines, 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 regenerative agriculture.

• ENV 202: CONCEPTS OF FOOD JUSTICE

  1.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  Truly regenerative agriculture, to be successful, cannot be only for the elite, but must reach all segments of society. To succeed in this, practitioners of regenerative agriculture need to understand the broader geographical, cultural, social, and political systems within which they operate. This course is intended as an introduction to concepts surrounding food justice and food security in the context of agriculture and is supported by 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 food justice.

• ENV 204: CLIMATE CHANGE AND AGRICULTURE

  1.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  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.

• ENV 205: DISEASES OF FOOD CROPS

  1.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  Plant diseases are a challenging issue for crop production. Some diseases, especially those caused by fungi, can result in devastating yield losses and are therefore a serious economic burden to farmers. In order to address the challenge of plant diseases in regenerative agriculture, understanding how, why and when diseases develop is very important. This course introduces students to the concepts of plant diseases in the context of agriculture and is supported by 6 semesters of Regenerative Field Lab (ENV200) for majors in the Environmental Science Regenerative Agriculture track. Students in other majors may take the course as a brief, stand alone introduction to plant diseases of field crops.

• ENV 206: AGRICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY

  1.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  It is difficult to overstate the impact that insects and related arthropods have on human agroecosystems. They are important recyclers of organic material in soils, required pollinators for hundreds of food crops, and are essential allies in managing agricultural pests. In their role as pests and vectors of plant diseases, insects are our greatest competitors for food; destroying a large proportion of our post-harvest stores and reaping untold pre-harvest damage to nearly all plant parts in every plant-based food system in the world. This course is fill introduction to beneficial and pestiferous insects and their management in the context of agriculture arid is supported by the application of applied entomology 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 agricultural entomology.
