Do you want to learn how to grow food while protecting the environment and supporting sustainable communities?

The Certificate in Agroecology, accredited by Arrupe Jesuit University in collaboration with Jesuit Worldwide Learning, is a one-year blended program designed for learners interested in sustainable agriculture, food security, and environmental protection.

In this program, you will explore how sustainable and organic farming methods can improve productivity while protecting natural resources and supporting community well-being.

You will complete six courses over 1 year: Introduction to Agroecology, Soil Properties and Health Management, Crop Production, Animal Husbandry, Agroforestry and Integrated Production Systems. Through practical assignments, case studies, and guided learning activities, you will develop the knowledge and skills needed to apply agroecological practices in your own context. By the end of the program, you will be able to promote sustainable farming approaches that contribute to healthier ecosystems, improved food production, and more resilient communities.

This program is a good choice for you if you are passionate about agriculture, environmental development, and community development. No previous experience in agriculture is required. To apply, you need to meet the program's entry requirements (minimum high school certificates and B1 English level on Cambridge language test), have regular access to agricultural practice space and a device such as a laptop, tablet, or smartphone to participate in online learning activities and complete assignments.
