    Scotland is known for its rolling green hills, kilt-wearing bagpipers, whiskey, golf, and ancient castles.

    Understanding that local needs, traditions, and conditions have to be taken heavily into consideration in order to achieve substantial and sustainable productivity gains is a major learning outcome for students in this program.

    Studying these topics in Scotland places agriculture and food science students directly into a different culture where they can learn to adapt and gain a broader international understanding far from their familiar setting.
