Course Overview

A growing population and expectations for a more sustainable business provide numerous issues for agriculture, not the least of which is meeting the growing demand for food, biofuel, and other products. Food security is crucial and necessitates balancing the environmental impact of agriculture with the effective production of food. Agriculture-related activities and their potential to have both good and negative environmental effects are examined in the MSc Environmental Management for Agriculture course. It describes the use of life cycle assessment, environmental impact assessment, environmental management systems, and environmental auditing to farm situations. The goal of this course is to provide sustainable agriculture management through environmental management. In addition to receiving interdisciplinary training to detect environmental concerns on farms and to design solutions, students will obtain a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. The specialized core modules have been developed to guarantee comprehension of the topics, balancing the needs of the farm, producer, or grower with the requirements of science. You will get the knowledge necessary for a career in agriculture, research, development, policy, or the consulting sector in relation to environmental management, food supply chain sustainability, agricultural system sustainability, and rural development. The MSc Environmental Management for Agriculture programme is divided into five core courses, three elective modules, a research methodologies module, and a supervised agricultural research project.
