Course Description
This course is designed to introduce students to cultural diversity; the value it adds to the agricultural workplace; and how to increase, improve, and support cultural diversity in the workplace. This course will challenge students to get to know people of other cultures on a personal and individual level, with hopes that they will then have an increased appreciation for cultural differences. In efforts to do that, this course will include topics such as: mental health and farmers; the banana massacre; appreciating others' first languages; history of the U.S. agricultural workforce; racial history in U.S. agriculture; stopping the stigma of black farmers; migrant farm labor and how we treat farm workers; and the importance of international relationships in global trade. Students who successfully complete this course will walk away with cultural diversity skills that will increase their effectiveness as managers and business owners in the agricultural industry.
