पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program is designed for students who want a broad education in agriculture to prepare for careers that require knowledge of food systems and natural resources, such as production and marketing of foods and ornamental plants; and careers in agricultural education in secondary schools, cooperative extension, and crop consulting. Students in the program develop a curriculum that best fits their individual needs. Cornell is one of the world leaders in international agriculture and rural development. As an agricultural science major, participation in at least one class focusing on international agriculture is required. Students will have boundless opportunities to earn credit for their participation in structured study tours to places like Mexico, India and the Philippines to learn about agriculture outside of the U.S. Many students also arrange for their required internship to be based internationally at a farm or organization. This program is designed to provide goods and services over time while maintaining natural resources for the future. Sustainable practices encompass the entire ecological system, including both social and biological conditions, in order to understand and develop holistic management plans. This concentration allows students to combine interests in environmental and social studies with current topics in agriculture: such as organic farming practices, local food initiatives, farmworker’s rights, energy sources, and farm policy. Graduates from this concentration have the skills to work in a range of agricultural related fields such as sustainable education, immigration rights, social activism, farm management, environmental studies, and agricultural policy.
