Agroecology | Bachelor’s Degree
University of Vermont
Description
Agroecology (AGR) is a degree that provides a foundation in the natural sciences with an emphasis on applying ecological principles to the production of horticulture or agronomic crops. Hands-on courses cover soils, plant pathology, entomology, and integrated farm management.
The focus of this program on Agroecology as opposed to simply Agriculture is intentional. The AGR curriculum includes many typical courses associated with traditional agriculture programs: plant science, introductory horticulture, soil science, entomology, plant pathology, etc. A focus on social, community, and environmental facets of agricultural production and its integration with livelihoods of farmers, farmworkers, consumers, and society is the differentiating component of our program from other institutions.
