The Agroecology Faculty Cluster
The AeP is supported by the interdisciplinary Agroecology cluster, three faculty members hired in 2002: Michael Bell in rural sociology, Claudion Gratton in entomology, and Randall Jackson in agronomy.
The cluster concept is an innovation of the University of Wisconsin in which a critical mass of faculty are hired into an interdisciplinary area, but with tenure homes in traditional departments. To learn more about the cluster concept, see http://www.clusters.wisc.edu/.
