This spring, our Department of Entomology is offering a course on “Climate Change and Resilience in Agricultural Ecosystems.” Students will meet once a week for a two-hour discussion on climate change and its impacts on agriculture in general and on pest management in particular.

The instructors, Casey Hoy and Daniel Herms (both professors of entomology) hope the course will help students understand climate change impacts on agriculture and how they’re currently being assessed, and how to evaluate new proposals designed to make agricultural ecosystems more sustainable and resilient. The class, Entomol 795.01, will meet  Wednesdays 1-3 p.m., March 30-June 1. Interested in knowing more? Contact either instructor at hoy.1@osu.edu or herms.2@osu.edu.
