Agroecology

The Agroecology program, which students enter after completing University 1, provides students with an understanding of the natural processes in the agroecosystem and the impact of agricultural practices on these processes. The program emphasizes three areas: ecological sciences, agricultural production, and the social and economic implications of environmental management. Students will develop an understanding of how to manage natural and agricultural resources in a manner that enhances economic production while maintaining the integrity of natural and agricultural environments. An undergraduate research project is completed during third and fourth years as part of AGEC 3510 and AGEC 4540. Graduates are prepared for careers at the technical and management levels in government and non-government agencies involved in planning and management of natural and agricultural resources. By appropriate choice of free elective courses, students can prepare for graduate studies.
