This course will examine the unique programs in Nicaragua, a country that is rebuilding its agricultural economy to address multiple goals including reducing poverty, improving food security, as well as decreasing impacts from climate change and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. The historical, political and social context will be discussed and perspectives will be provided from representatives from diverse groups including farm workers, farm owners, women, and indigenous peoples. Students will see differences between the US and Nicaragua, and in turn, will identify structures that cause those differences.
