ENVS 80.13 Just Transitions in Agriculture: Theory and Practice

Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement, nations are taking bold action to respond to climate change. The idea of ‘just transition’ - that justice and equity are integral to a post fossil fuel-based economy - is proliferating amongst NGOs, think tanks, philanthropists, and businesses. This course examines just transitions in agriculture through case studies on regenerative design, socio-ecological justice, and business incentives for soil health. The course emphasizes a critical analysis of these alternatives and culminates in a collaborative research project investigating ‘just transition’ alternatives in one’s local social ecological system.
