Course description

Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of sustainable agricultural practices and investigate how the intensification of agricultural practices can impact on rural landscapes and the wider environment. Through a series of lectures, discussions, readings, workshops and a field visit to an organic farm (in Australia), students will be exposed to the extremes of intensive modern agriculture in developed countries and to subsistence farming practices in developing countries. In class, students will work through a series of cases studies that examine the interactions, and the often conflicting goals, between agriculture and conservation and learn how these problems can be solved.
