Experiential Learning in Indian Agriculture
Indian agriculture accounts for one of the largest markets of agricultural products, food, fiber and fuel. This program provides the opportunity to develop a global perspective and broaden understanding of Indian agriculture, farming, and food supply chain. India’s agricultural system consists of big and small land-holding and subsistence farming, and heavily relies on locally-grown produce. Students will visit research centers, rural communities, and agricultural industries, and learn about India’s agricultural system.
