In this course, students will learn a short history and outline of agricultural sciences, and the overview of the term of sustainability. Students will also learn examples of production technology, from traditional to cutting-edge. New knowledge is effectively learned by quiz and report. The lecture topics are reflected on as linked with students standpoints as much as possible, and ideas of students will become clearer by presentation, question-and-answer session, and group work. Stakeholder analysis, role-plays, thought experiments, and video discussions are also used to advance learning. Lecture materials will be distributed through UTOL.
