Fall Semester Course
ACC 604 – Sustainable Communities
This course explores what can be gleaned from existing successful examples of community- level action on topics such as conservation, ecotourism, food and water security, and agroforestry. The course begins with an acknowledgement of a number of global issues including climate change, population increase, and land degradation.
