This module is core for MSc Agroforestry & Food Security (residential and part-time) and is suitable both for those interested in temperate and tropical agroforestry. It introduces the concepts behind this land use system and ways in which it is practiced around the world. Topics covered are the principles of ecological interactions, agroforestry practices across the world, and the social, economic and ecosystem benefits. It is also available to students on the MSc Forestry and MSc Tropical Forestry programmes.

Agroforestry classification

Biophysical principles and interactions

Agroforestry and livelihood systems

Food security & environmental resilience

Agricultural components of agroforestry systems

Temperate and tropical agroforestry systems

Agroforestry and conservation

• show a basic ability to classify and describe agroforestry practices based upon their components and their various spatial and/or temporal arrangements.
• be able to evaluate some key agro-ecological and social-ecological interactions in agroforestry systems.
• be able to somewhat demonstrate and justify how agroforestry practices can contribute to ecosystem service provision at multiple scales of analysis.
• be able to somewhat interpret the scope and limitations of agroforestry practices taking into account local ecological and socio-economic conditions and use these to design an agroforestry case using options-by-context.

Lecture	Lectures delivered face-to-face for residential students and on-line via Panopto/Collaborate or Teams for distance learning students. Recordings will also be available via Blackboard afterwards. Sessions will be interactive and form a combination of classical lectures and discussion groups.	36
Tutorial	This module has two 2-hour scheduled tutorials with the module that are part of assessed assignments, the critical review paper and the livelihood and land use diagram.	6
Fieldwork	Originally for residential students, a field visit to agroforestry sites of interest in the vicinity of Bangor, while distant learning students are encouraged to undertake a day's field visit, and share their experiences via the discussion forum hosted on the Blackboard site. However due to current COVID-19 conditions instead a seminar will be organised where different cases from various parts of the world are presented and discussed.	6
Private study	Personal study to support material delivered in lectures, field site visits and seminars.	152
