Writing in the Discipline
Over 50% of the global population lives in cities and the rate of urbanization is predicted to increase. As a result, urban centers are expanding and increasingly peri-urban farms are transitioning to outer-ring suburbs. The development of peri-urban farmland is seemingly at odds to maintain human food security for a growing population. This course will explore fundamental linkages and feedbacks between urban and rural land use, ecosystem and human health, and sustainability. To investigate alternate land use outcomes for peri-urban and urban landscapes, we will expand ongoing partnerships with urban and rural partners to investigate the environmental, social, and economic impact of diversifying peri-urban landscapes to increase local and regional ecosystem resiliency. Prerequisites: Completion of any two (2) 300-level BIOL courses or permission of instructor.
