Agroecology (Micro) | Graduate Certificate
University of Vermont
Description
Rooted in “Participatory Action Research” (PAR), our program guides students to identify key questions and practice new methods for integrating data from multiple perspectives (farmers, academics, activists, policymakers, etc.). This is used to both better understand agrifood system issues, as well as search for solutions that show real promise to help resolve issues on the ground.
Our 9-credit microcertificate of Graduate Study in Agroecology provides students with the fundamentals of agroecology with a smaller commitment of time. Starting with the required foundational course (Transformative Agroecology), students will then take Ecological Foundations of Agroecology and Agroecology, Food Sovereignity & Social Movements.
