India
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.
This new program offers cultural and academic experiences beyond learning in the traditional classroom. View the program flyer to learn more about excursions and highlights for this trip.
