Agriculture is the most far-reaching interaction between humans and the planet. In overlapping food, environmental, climate and political crises worldwide, agriculture and rural development play a key role. To transform agriculture(s) sustainably and equitably, we need students who connect advances in different scientific, social and political fields, such as: the natural sciences (biophysical basis for sustainable agro-ecologies), land and farm management practices and their interactions with their biophysical context, agri-cultural beliefs and ethics, the social organization (governance) and economics of agriculture, rural geographies and rural-urban linkages, political demands and voices within the food system, critical food systems research and advocacy. The Master program Agriculture, Ecology & Societies (AGES) allows students to connect these threads and study agricultures as complex socio-ecological systems. It combines a sound agronomic qualification with a good understanding of how agriculture is economically and socially embedded. With a wide range of modules and projects to choose from, students are encouraged to proactively build the program around their interests and career goals. The program emphasises interdisciplinary, critical and project-based learning, and is taught by scholars from a variety of (inter-)disciplinary backgrounds. Show less
