In this multidisciplinary course, we will critically explore intersecting literature on agroecology, biodiversity, ecosystem services, diversified farming systems, agroforestry, and farmers' livelihoods. The course's first part will focus on applying ecological theory to diverse farming systems, particularly intercropping and agroforestry. The second part will emphasize biodiversity in terms of how agricultural landscapes affect biodiversity and how biodiversity contributes to the sustainability, productivity, and resilience of agroecosystems and farming communities.
