Plants are the basis of all life on earth. All food is obtained either directly or indirectly from plants. Using examples from major agricultural crops such as chocolate, coffee and sugar, students learn how directly science affects their everyday lives. This interdisciplinary approach combines botany, ecology, human physiology, nutrition, anthropology and geography. The course includes a strong hands-on laboratory component and projects that allow students to incorporate their interests and cultural backgrounds with course material.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
