Welcome |
 Dr. Deborah Neher, Department Chair (video 1:36 min) |
Hello, I am Deborah Neher, Chair
of the Plant and Soil Science Department at the University of
Vermont. I consider myself a soil ecologist and agrocologist. I
grew up on a family farm and feel a personal connection to the
land. As department chair, one of my goals is to develop a
department that educates students to use nature as a model in
food production, landscaping, conservation, and remediation. Our
programs in Ecological Agriculture and Sustainable Landscape
Horticulture are integrative sciences based on a strong
foundation in ecology and priority given to experiential
learning. We aim to provide students with tools for innovation
in wise use of natural resources. Our majors can help prepare
you for jobs in production, retail and services of ornamental
horticulture, production of specialty crops for food, medical
and energy, and recycling damaged lands.
