and requires analysis and informed decision making .

The following five units in this course connect biology,
agriscience, and sustainability by focusing on the
science behind global issues .

• Ecology: Living on Earth - human impact on ecosystems
• Cell Biology: World Health – diseases’ impacts on life

• Genetics: Feeding the World - genetically modified organisms
• Evolution: Maintaining Diversity – biodiversity and ecosystems services

sustainability. Students review possible actions to address the issue, analyze the
associated evidence, then consider the trade-offs of each action .
