This course will give students a breadth of understanding of the agri-food system as a whole. They will learn about the major issues in sustainable agriculture and the cutting-edge techniques used in crop and soil science. Guest environmental and sustainability speakers give seminars regularly, and students will get the opportunity to cultivate their work experience with placements with the university's industrial, government and NGO partners. Students will cover topics such as global food security, the origins of agriculture and agricultural ecology in a changing world.
Students will conduct an independent research project, spending three months over the summer in the university's Institute for Sustainable Food. Here students work with Sheffield's world-leading researchers, taking the latest scientific knowledge and applying it in real-world settings to ensure that the production and consumption of the world’s food is sustainable and resilient.
