ENS 121 COMMUNITY AGRICULTURE - SPRING PLANTING
This half-semester course will examine community and local food systems through the lens of scientific inquiry. An emphasis is placed on critical thinking skills, as students evaluate impact of food production and consumption decisions on their personal, local and global environments. Students will conduct hands-on projects that introduce the science behind food and fiber production, including soil quality, environmental costs and benefits of different production approaches, and plant propagation.
Notes
A complimentary 2 semester hour class can also be taken in the spring.
ENS 121 is an integrated lecture/laboratory, fulfilling the laboratory science requirement in Liberal Studies (when taken
