This coming winter quarter we will again be running the Tuesday Farm Lunch seminars.
This winter our seminar will be slightly different we will be covering three current controversies in Sustainable Ag. We will have fewer guest speakers and more readings/small discussions.

Biology - 486 (i can get you an add code if you need it)
ESRM 490 or
ENVIR 450 ( if you'd like to overload this section I can help facilitate that as well)
We meet every Tuesday at 12:30.
