Abstract

AbstractThe university faculties that offer agriculture-related courses and how agricultural information is provided on course outlines are unknown. From June 2020 through April 2022, Canadian university websites were searched using the terms agri*, food*, farm*, crop*, plant*, animal*, and sustain*, retrieving 417 course outlines in 23 social science and 12 science faculties. Through descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis, the authors identified six themes: industrial agriculture and biotechnology; sustainability; alternatives and organic agriculture; food sovereignty, Indigenous, and gender; food security and food safety; and animal ethics and welfare. Instructors are encouraged to broaden the agricultural topics presented and provide balanced information.KEYTERMS: Agriculturepostsecondary educationsciencesocial science Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data underlying this study are openly available in Figshare, https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.6791019.v1 (SSHA) and https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.6794955.v1 (STEM).

加拿大大学的农业相关课程:社会科学与科学学院课程大纲的不同

摘要高校开设农业相关课程的院系和课程大纲中如何提供农业信息是未知的。从2020年6月到2022年4月，加拿大大学网站使用农业*、食品*、农场*、作物*、植物*、动物*和维持*等术语进行了搜索，检索了23个社会科学学院和12个科学学院的417门课程大纲。通过描述性统计和定性分析，作者确定了六个主题:工业化农业和生物技术;可持续性;替代品和有机农业;粮食主权、土著居民和性别;粮食安全与食品安全;以及动物伦理和福利。鼓励讲师拓宽农业主题并提供均衡的信息。关键词:农业高等教育科学社会科学披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。数据可用性声明本研究的数据可在Figshare、https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.6791019.v1 (SSHA)和https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.6794955.v1 (STEM)上公开获取。
