对粮食和纤维作物的需求不断增长，需要最大限度地提高我们农业系统的长期可持续性，并重新构想我们如何种植，销售和运输粮食。该计划旨在对可持续发展，食品化学和安全，政策和人类营养等食品的各个方面提供科学依据。您将探索在保护自然资源（例如土壤和水）的同时生产食物的方法。您的大部分教育都将在教室外进行，包括Soil Steward的校园农场，您将在该农场生产，销售，出售和分发食物。您还将有机会通过实习了解自己作为食品系统专业人员的角色。
Growing demand for food and fiber crops requires the need to maximize long-term sustainability of our agricultural systems and reimagine how we grow, market and transport food. This program is designed to provide a science-based understanding of the many facets of food, from sustainable production, food chemistry and safety, to policy and human nutrition. You will explore ways to produce food while conserving natural resources such as soil and water. Much of your education will take place outside the classroom, including the Soil Steward's campus farm where you will produce, market, sell and distribute food. You also have the opportunity to gain knowledge of your role as food systems professionals through internships.
