Description
Human society is dependent on its relationship with plants. This relationship is mostly expressed through agriculture, but also includes other forms of direct and indirect botanical interactions (forestry, pharmaceuticals, aesthetics, etc.). In this course, students will learn how to apply their botanical, biological, and environmental understanding to management of human systems. Topics covered in this class include economically important botanical features and plant families, human uses of plants, plant identification, agricultural systems, and history and geography of agriculture. At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to identify and classify economically useful plants and understand agricultural systems. Prerequisites: BIO 136
