The recent book by R. Ford Denison, Darwinian Agriculture, “shows how both biotechnology and traditional plant breeding can use Darwinian insights to identify promising routes for crop genetic improvement and avoid costly dead ends.” This 10-week graduate-level seminar will be organized around readings and discussion from this book, and additional readings to help situate the crop-level focus of the book into a broader agroecosystem context. Guest faculty presenters will include Ford Denison, Gary Nabhan and others.
