Description:

Can agriculture support both man and ecological systems? Is it possible to separate social and ecological systems in agriculture?

Using case studies and field experience, the Master's Programme in Agroecology guides students through a learning process on agriculture as an open system, dependent on its global and regional surroundings, as well as people and local resources. The programme offers a head start for students who seek to work with development or research for agriculture.
