Learning/Working in an Interdisciplinary Aspect of Food and Agriculture Systems

Thursday September 26, 2024 1:30pm - 2:00pm HST

Traditional disciplines in food and agriculture education are insufficient to fulfill the gaps of knowledge and innovation to solve future challenges. How agriculture and farming have been perceived is very different from what reality needs to be.
