About Master of Science - Agriculture and Development
Examine the role of agriculture in international contexts with University of Reading's MSc Agriculture and Development master’s degree, designed for those pursuing careers in rural development, agricultural extension, or research.

With an emphasis on farming systems, students will explore:
- the role and contributions of agriculture and horticulture to human development, food and nutritional security, livelihoods and ecosystem services.
- the biophysical, economic and social environments in which agriculture is practised.
- advances in agricultural technology, research and practise in response to challenges such as poverty, climate change and environmental sustainability.
- how to enhance the relevance, quality and impact of agricultural research and farmer-led innovation processes.
