At UC Berkeley’s Rausser College of Natural Resources, we study natural and human systems from biological, ecological, economic, and social-science perspectives. We engage with the issues that shape the complex, inter-connected world of the 21st century, from sustainable food systems to obesity, from water policy to energy economics, and from the far-reaching impacts of climate change to the linkages between the human genome, diet, and disease.
