Master's Degree in Agri-Food and Environmental Economics

Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV)

Spain

Environmental Science, Economics, Agriculture

Master's Degree

The agri-food sector is strategic in a large number of countries around the world. This is because it is an important source of wealth and employment, and guarantees the supply of food. In addition, agricultural and livestock activities have a great impact on the environment and the occupation of the territory. Although the rural environment has diversified, it is still closely linked to agriculture, both economically and through the landscapes it creates and the culture it generates, and its development continues to be a great challenge. Additionally, the markets for agricultural raw materials tend to be unstable.
