Course Description
This course is a study of agroforestry, or land- use systems in which trees and shrubs are grown in association with crops, pastures, or livestock in a spatial arrangement or rotation, and in which there are both ecological and economic interactions between the trees and other components of the system. Agroforestry has been increasingly recognized as a means to contribute to sustainable land use. The primary objective of this course is to familiarize students with the concept of agroforestry, and to help them acquire knowledge about the underlying principles of these systems, such as their ecological processes and environmental interactions. Examples from agroforestry systems throughout the world are described and discussed. Upon successful completion of this course, students are able to explain the concept of agroforestry in the context of agriculture and forestry, and to classify the main systems of agroforestry using various bases for classification; evaluate the major ecological processes involved, and to assess their relative importance in the major agroforestry systems; distinguish the importance of nitrogen fixation and myccorhizal associations in agroforestry systems and to evaluate these in the major agroforestry systems; distinguish the possibilities and limitations of application of agroforestry in the context of local ecological conditions, taking into account local socio-economic conditions; and critically evaluate an important basic hypothesis in agroforestry in a well-written essay, and to discuss it interactively during an oral presentation.

Course Description

This course examines key contemporary issues in international agricultural development – including food security, food safety, poverty reduction, climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the effects of the financial crisis on agricultural development, food crises and food aid etc. The agriculture for development highlights two major regional challenges, which are sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Agricultural productivity growth is vital for stimulating growth in other parts of the economy, but accelerated growth requires a sharp productivity increase in small holder farming combined with more effective support to the millions coping as subsistence farmers, many of them in remote areas. The success will also depend on concerted action by the international development community to confront the challenges ahead. We must level the playing field in goods, such as technologies for tropical food staples; help developing countries address climate change; and overcome looming health pandemics for plants, animals, and humans.

Course Description

The course offers a study of the theoretical bases and principles that guide sustainable production, recognizing the role of societies, nature, and their territories, and the virtuous relationship established between them. It includes practical experience by maintaining an established orchard through activities such as: sowing, pruning, maintaining an irrigation system, among other activities. Community work in the urban garden fosters discussion of solutions for facing urban demands for quality food while taking into account the conservation and restoration of natural resources such as water, soil, flora, and fauna biodiversity.
