Difference in opinion of sustainable agriculture concepts between master of science and master of agriculture cohorts

An abstract of a study by Urso et al developing conceptual philosophies and knowledge in both traditional and sustainable agriculture practices is presented. The results suggest that MS or traditional agriculture students exposed to sustainable content and curriculum are likely to displace their preconceived notions of sustainable agriculture and its practices for more favorable and accurate definitions and ideals of the concepts and practices. This considered, further research examining the opinions of students exposed to these courses with sustainable agriculture topics could help further explain the need for future course development in this area of study.
