The Farming for the Future program addresses the urgent challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and global food insecurity by promoting sustainable agricultural practices. The program focuses on three core areas: alternative, adaptive, and creative agriculture.
In alternative agriculture, students learn to assess environmental impacts, improve land use, and explore technologies for enhancing crop and livestock management while promoting sustainability. Adaptive agriculture emphasizes solutions for climate change, including soil management, resource planning, and navigating regulations. Creative agriculture encourages students to design innovative agrosystems and improve supply chains for food security.
The curriculum includes two major areas: Smart and Low-Input Agroecology, focusing on agroecology, agTech, and sustainability, and Climate Smart Adaptive Agrosystems, with a focus on climate-smart agriculture and sustainable land use. Students also select minors in specialized topics like water management, bioeconomy, and agroecological pest management.
