From the time that our ancestors began cultivating food in the Fertile Crescent thousands of years ago, agriculture has been a life-sustaining practice that has enabled early civilizations to evolve into modern societies.
Today, the science behind agriculture and the decisions farmers and leaders make in production and policy affects every aspect of our lives. To illuminate the agricultural practices of other countries and cultures, the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences offers a range of intercultural opportunities to introduce students to the tangible impacts of agricultural and environmental sciences.
Annual, faculty-led international study programs explore topics ranging from food security and sustainability to entomology and evolutionary biology. Popular CAES-led programs, including trips to Greece and Spain, host students from every UGA school and college.
