This program takes students on a journey of mapping the impact of different farming practices on the ecosystems around them. How can we realize the growing needs by pursuing a landscape approach - recognizing that agriculture, water, forests and food security are all connected. Students delve into understanding the real world issues of ensuring food for everyone, building solutions while addressing Ecological, Cultural and Socio-Economic implications.
