Project description

This course will explore the scientific principles�andprocesses forming the foundation of�plant-based�systemsthat provide food, fiber, beverage, environmental enhancement, medicine�and�art. Students will learn the language of�plants�and�growing�systems�including the complex interactions among climate, soil,�and�human manipulation to meet our needs�and�desires. This course will challenge the notions of sustainable, organic, GMOs�and�how�plants solve environmental problems. We consider the�science�behind�plant�growth, health, performance�and�their interactions with the environment. Successful completion of this course will prepare students for more advanced courses in the�Plant�Sciences curriculum.�
