Abstract
The university faculties that offer agriculture-related courses and how agricultural information is provided on course outlines are unknown. From June 2020 through April 2022, Canadian university websites were searched using the terms agri*, food*, farm*, crop*, plant*, animal*, and sustain*, retrieving 417 course outlines in 23 social science and 12 science faculties. Through descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis, the authors identified six themes: industrial agriculture and biotechnology; sustainability; alternatives and organic agriculture; food sovereignty, Indigenous, and gender; food security and food safety; and animal ethics and welfare. Instructors are encouraged to broaden the agricultural topics presented and provide balanced information.
