• AGNR 101: Introduction to One Health

  3.00 Credits

  The University of Tennessee - Knoxville

  
  Humans, animals, plants, and the environment are inextricably linked, with the health of one affecting the health of all. The One Health concept recognizes that health issues must be addressed cohesively instead of independently. This approach is essential considering approximately 70% of emerging infectious disease cases in humans and livestock are a consequence of spillover events from wildlife. Similarly, humans play a role in animal disease emergence by facilitating global transfer of infectious agents, altering landscape conditions, and creating environmental disturbances. Additionally, plant diseases can reduce global agricultural productivity by up to 40% for the five major food crops, undermining our ability to safeguard national and global food security. This course serves as the introductory experience for students considering One Health careers and pursuing the One Health Minor.

• AGNR 117: HCA Honors Freshman Seminar

  The University of Tennessee - Knoxville

  
  The freshman seminar will address global challenges in the Food, Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Human Sciences (FANHS) like the “One Health” model. Federal agencies that have historically acted unilaterally are now recognizing that health of animals, people and the environment are inextricably linked. The One Health approach is the collaborative effort of the human health, veterinary health and environmental health communities to interact on a local, national and global scales in order to attain and maintain optimal health not only for people, but for domestic, farm, and food animals, wildlife, plants, and environment. This course will focus on research programs in the Institute of Agriculture that approach solving challenges through communication, cooperation, and collaboration across disciplines and institutions, thus maintaining or reducing health risks to animals, humans, the environment and society. Registration Restriction(s): Freshman and Sophomore students either in University Honors Programs with CASNR major or in Honors Food, Agricultural, Natural Resource, and Human Sciences Minor or permission of instructor.

This course will be offered as a foundational course for the Food, Agricultural, Natural Resource, and Human Sciences Minor and will provide students in that minor with opportunities to identify faculty programs which support their career goals. In addition, this course will provide training for students in funded undergraduate research programs. After the initial ethics and compliance training, students in these program will receive project-specific training as identified by the Principal Investigator(s).
