as livestock farming, aquaculture, and chemical use in row crop farming. CREDIT: THREE SEMESTER HOURS.

ENV 519: Sustainable Agriculture Systems. Exploration of the ecological effects of modern intensive agriculture, and the challenge of attaining a secure supply of food through ecologically sound and sustainable practices. The definition, emergence, and growth of sustainable agriculture will be discussed along with pertinent soil, crop and livestock management practices. CREDIT: THREE SEMESTER HOURS.

ENV 525: Organic Agriculture. Principles and practices of organic agriculture are presented in the context of their historical, philosophical, economic, and scientific underpinnings. Students will develop a broad theoretical and practical understanding of organic agriculture. Prerequisites: MAT 120 or MAT 125 or Consent of Instructor. CREDIT: THREE SEMESTER HOURS.

ENV 535: Urban Agriculture. Examine contributions of food gardens to community health and food system sustainability. Explore potential of compact urban agriculture to offset community food needs through high and low input production. Gain hands-on experiences with tools, techniques and practices used to grow and process food and ornamental crops in urban environments. Credit: 3 semester hours.

ENV 540: Ornamental and Landscape Plants. This course provides an understanding of the identification, morphology, classification, nomenclature and adaptability of ornamental plants in landscape environments. The use of plants in home, business, and park landscapes to reduce water use, pollutants, energy and labor inputs is examined. CREDIT: THREE SEMESTER HOURS.

ENV 542: Plant Propagation and Production. This course provides an understanding of both traditional plant propagation and tissue culture as well as sustainable plant production systems. Plant propagation is a critical part of nursery and greenhouse management not only to reduce production costs but also to maximize the potential profit. Sustainable practices and production of horticultural crops is also examined to reduce water use, pollutants, energy, and labor inputs.
