Overview
The Agroecology, Water and Food Sovereignty MSc at Coventry University aims to address the environmental, socio-economic and institutional implications in the building of resilient societies.
The course has a strong focus on resilient food and water systems, critically-analysed under environmental, socio-economic and political lenses to reflect the broad range of issues that relate to food and water sovereignty and how agroecology can alleviate them.
