Agro-ecology

 Agroecology is a holistic and integrated approach that simultaneously applies environmental and social concepts and principles to the design and management of sustainable agriculture and food systems. It seeks to optimise interactions between plants, animals, humans and the environment while meeting the need for equitable food systems. It is a science, a set of practices and a social movement and has evolved as a concept over recent decades to broaden its scope from a focus on fields and farms to encompass agriculture and entire food systems. It now represents an interdisciplinary field that encompasses the environmental, social, cultural, technological, technological, economic and political dimensions of food systems, from production to consumption.

Agroecology represents a holistic and comprehensive systems framework to guide public policies towards sustainable agriculture and food systems. It enhances student competence by promoting integrated policy design and implementation and brings together different sectors of agriculture.

The Master's programme in Environment and Agriculture provides an in-depth understanding of the link between environment and agriculture, with a focus on sustainability and conservation of natural resources. The programme features specialised knowledge in areas such as agri-environmental science, natural resource management and climate change, giving graduates valuable skills to develop sustainable agriculture and conserve the environment.
