PhD Agroforestry
Course Overview
This research program delves into the dynamic relationships between people, agriculture, and trees across diverse global landscapes. It offers a unique opportunity to investigate agroforestry systems at multiple scales, from molecular interactions to landscape-level effects, in both temperate and tropical environments. Students will engage in cutting-edge research focused on multipurpose tree species to develop sustainable land-use solutions.
Key Program Highlights
- Investigate the critical role of trees in enhancing agricultural sustainability and resilience
- Explore complex tree-crop-soil interactions to optimize system productivity
- Pioneer the domestication and conservation of valuable indigenous tree species
- Formalize and integrate local ecological knowledge into scientific practice
- Conduct international fieldwork with opportunities for split-site study overseas
