It also exposes students to the role of animals in human society and the ethical, environmental and other issues that arise. It offers training in research skills needed for graduate work, and (with appropriate selection of courses) prepares students for admission to veterinary and human medicine.&nbsp;Students have various options to gain practical experience on farms and in laboratories, animal shelters and wildlife rehabilitation centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.calendar.ubc.ca\/vancouver\/index.cfm?tree=12,194,897,1446\">Required Courses<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landfood.ubc.ca\/undergraduate\/courses-degree-planning\/restricted-elective\/\">Restricted Electives<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landfood.ubc.ca\/undergraduate\/applied-biology\/applied-animal-biology\/\">Program overview<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainable Agriculture and Environment (SAGE)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sustainable Agriculture and Environment major focuses on the application of soil, plant and agro-ecological sciences to enhance the sustainable production of food, and other agricultural products, while simultaneously conserving land and enhancing ecological services.

A core resource of the program is the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at the UBC Farm where students gain hands-on experience within a diverse managed landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.calendar.ubc.ca\/vancouver\/index.cfm?tree=12,194,897,1644\">Required Courses<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landfood.ubc.ca\/undergraduate\/courses-degree-planning\/restricted-elective\/\">Restricted Electives<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landfood.ubc.ca\/undergraduate\/applied-biology\/sustainable-agriculture-and-environment\/\">Program Overview<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>**If you ever feel that an area of interest you would like to learn about is not being covered in the courses you are taking, please reach out to the <a href=\"mailto:apbi.advising@ubc.ca\">program advisor<\/a> or <a href=\"mailto:LFS.Advising@ubc.ca\">student services<\/a> to find out about courses and\/or extracurriculars that may align with your interests**<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h2 id=\"at-4320\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">Co-op<\/h2><div id=\"ac-4320\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be eligible, students must be in at least their third year of an undergraduate program in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems.
