Action learning and research

The Agroecology programme is aimed at international students with a strong interest in sustainable agriculture and agroecosystem management.
Students will get the opportunity to understand structure and function of complex agroecosystems. They will learn to apply systems approaches in studying, designing and evaluating (agricultural) systems and food production chains, and to develop creative solutions for sustainable farming and food systems.

The programme teaches a multidisciplinary approach in which natural science is combined with social science and economics. Action learning and action research through cooperation with farmers, food system professionals and consumers will shorten the distance between practice and theory.

The proposed programme exploits the strengths of the two co-operating institutes, including specialist knowledge in agroecosystems management and application of agroecological science in real-world situations.
