Excerpt:

The program—housed in the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences (CAHSS), within the Department of Environmental Studies–will balance a rural focus on the unique assets of the North Coast with preparing students coming from and returning to a variety of communities, from small rural towns to urban environments. The program is intentionally inclusive of urban agriculture and food sovereignty work led by—and for—marginalized communities in the range of places our students call home. Students will examine the distinct conditions that shape access to land, healthy food, and dignified livelihoods across contexts, while developing practical skills for building community-based food projects, mutual aid networks, and culturally grounded growing practices.

“Students from this program will develop a strong critical analysis of food systems while also learning how to successfully grow and manage a variety of crops through different methodologies,” CAHSS Dean Jeff Crane says.

Graduates of the program will be prepared for careers on small regenerative farms, larger-scale agricultural operations, in urban community gardens, as farm-to-school education coordinators, policy analysts, value-added product entrepreneurs, community organizers, and more. The curriculum represents a diverse range of fields, bringing together faculty from multiple disciplines, departments, and programs, including health and nutrition, Rangeland Resource Science, Native American Studies, School of Engineering, Environmental History, Environmental Science & Management, Sustainable Food Systems, and Critical Race, Gender & Sexuality Studies.
