Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems (SAFS)

Sustainable agriculture must be achieved from three different perspectives: Environmental: It should have minimal environmental impacts and should support a biodiverse agroecosystem. Social: It should ensure healthy food for all, offer support for farmers and farm workers, promote education, and facilitate food-related cultural traditions. Economic: It should enable local food systems, support the local economy, and ensure economic profitability for farms with ecologically minded practices. Sustainable agriculture must also be resilient – it must be able to avoid, recover from, and adapt when there are unforeseen conditions or events (this could be an environmental event like a drought or storm, or a societal event like a pandemic). A major is the main focus of your university degree. At Bishop’s, our majors are 48 credits (most courses are 3 credits).
