The world needs ambitious change-makers to maximize and maintain global food production in an ethical, effective manner. If you want to be a part of that solution, this degree is for you.
Hungry for change?
From farm to fork, you鈥檒l grow to understand the complex social and scientific factors that influence food systems worldwide. Ultimately, you will use this knowledge to impact non-profit, human service, and agricultural industries around the world.
In this interdisciplinary program, you will explore the three pillars of Sustainable Agriculture:
environmental stewardship
economic profitability
social responsibility
Students will customize their degree by choosing from two tracks:
Farming Systems:
students focus on sustainable production methods and biophysical systems with courses in animal science, plant science, entomology and more.
Community Food Systems:
focus on issues related to food systems including food security and hunger issues with courses in nutrition, global issues, policies and more.
Hands-On Experience
Our program emphasizes experiential opportunities to give students practical, real-world skills. Students are required to complete an apprenticeship with the UK CSA farm where they learn to grow, harvest, and distribute organic vegetables. On the outskirts of Lexington, we own and operate a horticulture research farm where students and professors produce a variety of fruits and vegetables for research and consumption. It is also home to our nonprofit Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project that provides organic produce to the Lexington community. As our student, this is just one of the many hands-on learning opportunities you鈥檒l have.
International Opportunities
Should you choose, you can gain international experience while earning credit towards your degree. We offer a variety of study, research, intern, and service abroad programs for all budgets and comfort levels. Some students have even earned grants and scholarships to fully fund their international experiences.
These programs are designed to broaden your mind and introduce you to unfamiliar ways of thinking and living. Ultimately, these experiences will make you a more competitive applicant in the global workforce.
