Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems

About

Are you interested in the sustainability of our food systems? Do you want to gain skills through hands-on learning, active engagement and internships? Then our major is perfect for you! Students acquire the critical thinking skills and practical knowledge needed to become successful agriculturalists, entrepreneurs and researchers. We take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding complex issues ranging from food security to food policy to growing crops on a farm.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

The sustainable agriculture and food systems major offers three tracks of study: food and society; agriculture and ecology; and economics and policies. Students in the agriculture and ecology track will focus on crop and animal production systems, ecology, and practices that mitigate negative impacts while producing environmental and social benefits. Students in the food and society track will focus on issues related to the social, cultural, political and community development aspects of agriculture and food systems. Students in the economics and policy track will focus on issues related to agricultural and resource economics, policy and management.

English Program Requirements

A strong understanding of the English language is important to your success at UC Davis. If you have been studying in the United States for fewer than three (3) years and your native language and school language of instruction prior to your study in the United States was not English, you must demonstrate English proficiency. Meeting this requirement through the AP exam, IB exams or transferable college courses also satisfy the UC Entry Level Writing Requirement (ELWR).
