The Agroecology – Master’s Programme strives to provide a holistic understanding of how biological processes, biophysical and socio-economic conditions interact and influence sustainable development of farming and food systems. Agroecology is an interdisciplinary subject, with foundations in biology (with emphasis on ecology), economics, sociology and technology, as well as interdisciplinary sciences such as agricultural, horticultural and environmental sciences. The programme combines research-based and scientific knowledge with experiential knowledge obtained through interactions with e.g. farmers and, as well as issues related to practical applications.
