Program Presentation
Objective of the Program
This program aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct analyses and diagnoses aimed at ensuring the sustainability of agricultural production in synergy with ecosystems and the protection of fragile areas. Students are equipped with skills in managing the transition process and developing agriculture that respects natural balances. They acquire a solid interdisciplinary foundation enabling them to adopt a systemic approach in their practice, particularly by combining often compartmentalized disciplines such as agronomy, ecology, sociology, and economics. Students also gain the knowledge and innovative capabilities required to reorient agriculture to address food, ecological, and socio-economic challenges.
Targeted Knowledge
The program aims to:
- Equip students with critical autonomy and the ability to work in interdisciplinary teams.
- Understand the concept of agroecology by relying on ecological processes.
- The various courses (agronomy, ecology, sociology, and economics) provide future professionals with the know-how and methodological approach required to perform tasks such as:
- Identifying and mobilizing natural resources.
- Developing possibilities for sustainable development.
- Designing and elaborating ecosystem protection and conservation plans.
- Establishing new policies for land use and activity creation.
- Explaining the foundations and implications of agricultural practices, particularly their environmental impact, regulations, legal frameworks, and product quality.
- These skills aim to support the agricultural sector in addressing current and future technical-economic, societal, and environmental changes.
- In the field of education, the knowledge acquired in Agroecology enables students to teach in secondary schools or vocational training centers.
- Finally, students of the Agroecology Bachelor’s program can access Master’s and Doctoral studies.
Final Projects
Students carry out practical internships and projects focusing on agroecological issues, particularly optimizing agricultural yields, improving agricultural products, and promoting the sustainable development of farms.
