The study program “Sustainable agriculture” is oriented to give our students fundamental information in multiple disciplines that are vital for sustainable plant or animal production chains. Students are encouraged to analyse various methods and technologies that are used in agriculture and think about how they would improve them.

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a three-year undergraduate degree which enables each student to develop his or her own interests in a science subject (science major) and related subjects. Students have the flexibility to combine their major subject with other science subjects, as well as subjects from other disciplines across the University.

Agroecologists explore how crops and pest organisms interact with their environment, and the application of technology to efficiently and sustainability produce crops. In the Agroecology program at Montana State, students focus on community ecology, environmental science and cropland ecosystems and how they affect agricultural production decisions.

In the Sustainable Food Systems program at Montana State, students focus on the interconnected relationships between production, food policy, food security and health in order to make informed decisions and solutions to complex problems in the food industry. Sustainable Food Systems students develop important skills through hands-on experience in service-based learning internships, organic farming, culinary fundamentals and management, training on research methods and carrying out research projects in surrounding communities.

Trent’s forward-thinking Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems (SAFS) program helps to meet the growing demand for experts to address the global need for healthy, affordable, and sustainable food production. As a student in this program, you will develop a firm understanding of food systems: how food is produced, distributed, and consumed, locally and around the world. Through either the B.A. or B.Sc. pathways, you’ll have opportunities to get hands-on in sustainable farming and ethical practices, particularly in the Trent Experimental Farm, while learning how to influence a future of food systems that are responsible, justice-oriented, efficient, effective, and viable.

In this agriculture specialization, you will explore the scientific basis, design, and management of aquaculture systems. Learn through hands-on training in a wide-range of aquaculture activities, emphasizing biology and modern agriculture technology.The undergraduate Aquaculture specialization was established in 1988. The Hilo area has unique potential for aquaculture education. As expected in a semi-tropical climate, warm seawater and freshwater are available. Additionally, cool fresh and salt water (20 degrees celsius) and cold (6 degrees celsius) seawater can be obtained from wells. This diversity of water supplies allows the culture of almost all aquaculture species including tropical fish, trout, salmon, carp, shrimp, various seaweeds, and shellfish throughout the year.

Through a combination of classroom, project-based, and work-integrated learning, you will gain foundational knowledge and understanding of dynamic leadership, problem-solving, entrepreneurial thinking, agriculture technologies management, agronomy, and data sciences. These skills and knowledge allow students to realize the social, economic, and environmental objectives of sustainability.

This program teaches you how to maintain and enhance the performance of agricultural systems (including people, plants, animals, soil, water, and other resources) in efficient and sustainable ways. Key areas of study include agricultural production systems, natural resource management, and their relationship to social and economic systems.

Telling the story of agriculture and natural resources. The Oklahoma State University agricultural communications program is among the most respected and largest in the nation. Our roots are deep - reaching back to OSU's first offering of agricultural journalism in 1927. Today, we are on the leading edge of technology. Our faculty combine hands-on instruction with real-world experience, and our graduates are prominent leaders in the agricultural communications field.

The Faculty of Agriculture has a department including four courses. We offer students opportunities to learn Synthetic Science, which focuses on Sustainable Crop Production and Conservation of the Natural Environment, and Advanced Science, which focuses on the Elucidation and Application of Bioscience. Currently, we are faced with many serious issues, such as food supply and safety, environment preservation, information society, bioenergy, and the local community, about which you can learn and study in our Faculty.

This applied biology degree considers how land-use practices can help to tackle today’s critical challenges of climate change, biodiversity, and food security. This three-to-four year course is designed to give you the knowledge, skills, and understanding of sustainable and efficient agricultural systems. You'll explore systems that regenerate soils and enhance biodiversity, and which release land for forestry and woodland, renewable energy generation, and biomass production for a rural bioeconomy. You'll also learn about the latest approaches to improving the yields, nutritional value, and stress-resilience of crops, as well as food product innovations from insects, plants, and cell cultures. Once you've completed the course, you'll be ready to support the agricultural industry as it rises to the challenges ahead.

As a student from Climate Smart Agriculture program, you will gather plant and animal production skills on the modern campus educational and research farm and work placements, and learn profitable rural entrepreneurship in cooperation with nature. You will work with current uses and developments of diverse technologies and technological applications in agriculture. Upon graduation, you’ll be an effective entrepreneur or team worker in varied rural projects.
