PGDip in Sustainable Agriculture
The demand for capacity and experts in the field of sustainable agriculture exceeds universities’ and governments’ training and development inputs. A postgraduate degree will develop agricultural specialists that could support sustainable agricultural practice, and in return support food security and socio-economic development.
Sustainable development is increasingly gaining momentum as an imperative, particularly in the context of the post 2015 development goals. This module will explore the concept of sustainable agriculture, with emphasis on the triple wins development path based on the inter-connections between economic, environmental, and social dimensions.
Prospective students who wish to apply for admission to the one-year PGDip programme, should apply online or contact the centre directly by sending an email to msa@ufs.ac.za.
