The Wolfpack Wellness Research Web Series highlights the groundbreaking work of NC State faculty and staff that focuses on health and well-being. Join us the third Friday of every month at 2 p.m. for a roughly 30-minute talk by one of our outstanding faculty or staff members. Each session is recorded and made available on the Wolfpack Wellness YouTube channel.

Michelle Schroeder-Moreno, founder and director of the NC State Agroecology Education Farm, will discuss agroecology. Agroecology integrates ecology with agriculture for the development of sustainable agricultural practices and food systems. In other words, agroecology is the science behind sustainable agriculture. Schroeder-Moreno’s goal is to train students as “future food system leaders” that can critically analyze agriculture and food challenges from a multidisciplinary and holistic lens and develop sustainable solutions that are environmentally sound, socially and culturally acceptable and economically viable.
