- Description/content
- How can conventional agriculture make the transition to a more sustainable form? This is the question at the heart of Sustainable Agriculture BSc. The programme focuses on designing agricultural and horticultural production systems with ecology in mind by engaging in detailed analyses of these systems and developing appropriate strategies for optimising their efficiency and sustainability. This international degree programme also examines the effect of the agricultural industry on the ecological, economic and social aspects of sustainability from a global perspective.
By combining the study of sustainability assessment methodologies, a global focus and the flexibility for individual specialisation, the Sustainable Agriculture BSc programme produces graduates who are qualified for a broad range of career paths. These career paths can lead to companies in agricultural consulting, the nutrition industry, manufacturers of feed, fertilisers, pesticides and seeds, agricultural machinery firms, or associations and agencies dedicated to environmental protection, sustainable development or agriculture.
