The concentration in Sustainable Agriculture is an emphasis available to students in the Agriculture major. Sustainable Agriculture is a design approach for agro-ecosystems. With a focus on long-term sustainability, it emphasizes ecological principles and diversity of plant and animal combinations suited to the characteristics of places and cultures. As such, it is appropriate for students who are concerned with resource issues, agriculture, community development, and land use planning.
