Agriculture in the Developing Nations I is offered for 2 credits (letter grade only) and meets Friday 1:25-3:20 in Room 404 Plant Science. The goal of this course is to acquaint students with the major issues and problems in international agriculture and rural development and to show how problems in development are being addressed by international, government, and non-government agencies. The lectures/discussions attempt to establish the global context for sustainable agricultural development and focus on agriculture in the tropics, using case studies of agricultural development in Latin America, especially Honduras. This course may be taken as a stand-alone survey course in international agriculture, but it is also the preparatory course for participation in Agriculture in the Developing Nations II (International Agriculture 602), which includes a trip to Honduras during the intersession. |
