AT 11-001_FA22: The story of human history in many ways is the story of the complex relationship between humans and plants. As the basis of human diets, plants feed us, but they do so much more. Plants cure us when we?re sick, provide us building materials, make us money, and get us high. They?ve contributed to the rise and downfall of civilizations, famines, wars, slavery, and driven scientific innovations that have saved millions. In this course, we will investigate how human-plant relationships have shaped societies and ecosystems around the world and cultivate our own relationships with the plant world on the Eckerd College Community Farm.
