This Organic Agriculture programme at Wageningen University and Research has been designed to train students in multiple aspects of organic agriculture and the associated processing and marketing chain.
An important goal is to prepare the students for interdisciplinary teamwork at an academic level.
This study is unique in that it combines detailed consideration of the underlying principles and processes from a natural science perspective with social and economic studies.
Creative thinking is required to design new sustainable farming and marketing systems instead of simply optimising existing systems. The programme has an international character which uses case-studies and offers project opportunities in both the developed and developing world.
The experience and diverse skills our students acquire working in interdisciplinary teams on practical cases, make them eligible for a broad range of jobs. Graduates of this programme will have career opportunities in agribusiness, research, extension, non-governmental organisations and public administration.
