Overview

Key Features

The Sustainable Agriculture at Lincoln University will produce graduates with production, consultancy, research and service skills adaptable to addressing a variety of issues in modern agriculture: fuel efficiency; nutrition retention and cycling; sustainable, organic and low-input crop/livestock production; water, energy and soil conservation; local and direct marketing; etc. Graduates will be able to effectively work and communicate with professionals in a wide variety of disciplines.

Twenty-first century agriculture should not only provide a livelihood for farmers and food for consumers but also minimize its impact on the environment and natural resources as well as sustain stable local economies. Studying and developing solutions and policies to address the above require a sound and rigorous interdisciplinary approach.

The program intends to explore agriculture from a different perspective, one that integrates animal, plant, and aquaculture production with the management of natural resources, such as nutrients, soil, and water. Students who major in agriculture and agribusiness are encouraged to enroll in this degree program.

Lincoln University has state-of-the-art farms that incorporate aquaculture, large and small ruminant production, greenhouses, vegetable and fruit production, integrated pest management and selected agronomic crops. Lincoln University also has state-of-the-art labs, including, but not limited to, chemistry and microbiology as well as a global information system (GIS) laboratory. In addition, students in the program will have the added opportunity to take online agriculture and environmental science graduate courses from the University of Nebraska Lincoln, with which Lincoln University signed a collaborative memorandum of understanding in 2008.
