The Sustainable Agriculture MicroMasters program gives you the knowledge to create a healthy environment, economic profitability, and social and economic equity.
Its fundamental purpose is to help you meet current social needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
You will learn that sustainable agriculture is more than a collection of sustainable farming methods and practices.
It is also a process of negotiation: a tug-of-war between the sometimes conflicting interests of an individual farmer, a community, a nation, or geopolitical groups as they work to resolve complex issues of how to grow crops and livestock.
As a practitioner of sustainable agriculture – manager, producer, food processor, distributor, retailer, consumer, waste manager, or policy maker – the Sustainable Agriculture MicroMasters program will equip you to play a role in ensuring a sustainable agricultural system. .
A systems perspective is essential to understanding sustainability and involves interdisciplinary efforts.
You will gain an understanding of the importance of the sustainable agriculture system in its broadest sense, from the individual farm to the local ecosystem and the communities affected by agricultural and livestock production practices, both locally and globally.
An emphasis on the system allows for a broader and more comprehensive view of the consequences of agricultural and livestock practices on both human communities and the environment.
A systems approach gives you the tools to explore the interconnections between agriculture and other aspects of our environment.
Farmers, workers, policy makers, researchers, retailers, consumers and administrators have a responsibility to achieve the goal of sustainable agriculture.
This MicroMasters program provides you with the foundational knowledge so that you can make a unique contribution to strengthening the sustainable agriculture community.
