Becoming an agroecologist – fostering social learning and responsible action for sustainable food systems
This brief is based on experience gained from the Master’s Programme in Agroecology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in particular, and on contributions from our partner programmes at Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) and Martyrs University in Uganda (UMU). The brief provides an overview of agroecology, describes how we educate agroecologists, and explains why it is vital to cultivate system thinking for developing sustainable food systems.
