Create sustainable growing solutions that aid in feeding, clothing, and fueling the ever-expanding population while ensuring a healthy planet for future generations. The Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Plant Systems has four tracks; students in the Controlled Environment Agriculture track cultivate technologies to efficiently produce plants and plant-based products. Students learn how to use environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable growing systems in arid lands and urban settings. Thanks to the university's location in Tucson, this interdisciplinary program pioneer the study of arid agriculture. The discoveries made here offer farmers and leaders around the world solutions to growing more, improving yields, and reducing pest problems, all while using less land, chemicals, and water. Students graduate with a science-based foundation, prepared to advance the industry of modern agriculture.
