Food, Agriculture and the Environment 2011-2013
I found the course materials very interesting and informative. The course content is very strongly formulated. This course is very essential and beneficial for me and my future work, because my country is also a developing country with a strong orientation towards agriculture and is in huge need of modernization and upgrade of scientific resources. Thank you for the course! Ilhomjon Teshabaev, Procurement Specialist, Amu-Zang Irrigation Rehabilitation Project, The Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Unfortunately, where I live we have limited access to both online and offline resources in most disciplines including environmental science and food security. The material covered in the course was of immense importance to me for exploring the concepts of environment, food security, and their inter-relation with agriculture. Though this may be ambitious, I will try to deliver the key points of the course to the appropriate people at the ministry so that they can incorporate them into the rural development policies in Uzbekistan. The most valuable aspect of the course for me was the synthesis made between past and present sustainable growth approaches in the agriculture sector. Also important was the latest information regarding new agricultural production practices and useful statistics about the current food crisis including the international community’s efforts to solve the related problems. I am thankful to the Biopolitics International Organization for a wonderful and useful journey which was a pleasure to take. I learned a lot about food and agriculture and their impact on environment and how powerless nature is in the face of human ignorance. Environmental degradation is the result of our actions and our immortal desire to want more at the expense of environment.
