Agroecology

Agroecology is a scientific discipline rooted in indigenous land stewardship and food production practices. It uses traditional ecological knowledge and insights from multiple academic disciplines to design, manage, and evaluate agricultural systems that are productive and also resource conserving, community building, and resilient in the face of climate change. This course is an Earth Systems practicum that provides students with a broad overview of the field of agroecology while grounding them in hands-on agroecosystem stewardship practices at the Stanford Educational Farm.
