FQ 2007;SQ 2009: Issues of Global Food Production Offered: Location:Prescott,Arizona
3.00 Credits
Prescott College
At the beginning of the 21st century, the human population has reached over 6 billion, and the growth will not level off until it reaches at least 11 billion, even in the most optimistic scenarios. The vast majority of highly productive agricultural land is already under cultivation, and no agronomists foresee another green revolution that will greatly increase production of currently cropped lands. In this course we will explore the implications of this human predicament. Do we have any choice but to trade off long-term agricultural sustainability for shortterm productivity Or are there approaches to food production that will increase people's food security in the near future as well as over the long term Students will choose a range of countries for case studies and for each will evaluate energy availability, land productivity and tenure, population status, and important cultural norms. Based on this information, students will then suggest policy approaches that may satisfy the disparate objectives encountered by each country.
