Master of Science - Agroforestry and Food Security (D4BA)

专业介绍

The Master of Science - Agroforestry and Food Security course is accredited by the Institute of Chartered Foresters and gives partial fulfilment of Professional Membership Entry.

The course will provide students with a detailed understanding of the principles and processes of agroforestry as part of a sustainable food production system, including its social and environmental contexts. It will equip them to implement the latest research into sustainable production systems thinking and will facilitate entry into agroforestry-related careers. The programme suits people with interests in the agri-food, farming, environmental, conservation, and agricultural policy sectors, and covers both temperate and tropical systems and contexts.

On this course students will:

• Examine the environmental, economic and social aspect of agroforestry in the context of food security and the changing environment.
• Study how selected agroforestry management practices can improve the resource-efficiency and overall sustainability of food production.
• Gain a global perspective to question whether and how growing demand for food from limited land resources can be met through agroforestry and sustainable intensification.

There is a long tradition of agroforestry practice in many parts of the world, but recently it has become a major focus in international development and is now at the forefront of innovation in natural resource management.
