While studying Global Resource Systems (GRS), you’re learning how to use science to work towards economically feasible and socially acceptable solutions for current international resource issues, in a region of your choosing.

These skills may include:
- Analysis of current global conservation issues to present economic feasible and socially acceptable solutions
- Utilization of data to raise stakeholder awareness, allowing for informed decisions within food systems
- Application of ethical considerations in international development, policy-making, and consideration of societal implications
