MA Agriculture and Rural Development

Gain first-class training in how agriculture can contribute to poverty alleviation, food security, and rural development in low-income countries. Our unique MA in Agriculture and Rural Development blends theory, practical skills, real-world case studies, and empirical insights to give you a solid foundation in global issues surrounding agriculture, rural livelihoods, and rural policies and politics. You’ll explore the policies and practices of major international institutions like the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, UN Development Programme, World Bank, and the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research. You’ll also study civil society organisations and advocacy groups such as La Via Campesina and Brazil’s Landless Workers Movement, both of which campaign for land reform, workers’ rights, and social justice in rural areas.
