Overview

Agroecology is gaining increased attention today for its contributions to farm and food systems, to social innovation, and to research. Agroecology supports the development of resilient food ecosystems. It does so by drawing on science, social studies, and ecological principles to foster synergies between plants, animals, humans and the wider environment. Central to agroecological initiatives is that they are economically viable, that they support human and social values, and that they are ecologically responsible.

The MSc in Agroecology offered by the Royal Agricultural University covers the fundamentals of Agroecology, including its ecological approach to developing and maintaining resilient food systems. You will access and learn from the RAU’s wide network of local and national business links, farms, social enterprises and food system innovators through seminars, site visits and placements.
