Streams (24 credits)
Stream 4: Environment and Agricultural Resources
Within development studies, the environment has long been recognized as a vital determinant of development. More
recently, many scholars have changed their environmental focus to emphasize sustainability. The courses in this
stream recognize both: some courses consider how the environment can be exploited to promote human well-being
while others consider how the environment must be respected to render development sustainable. Together, they
highlight the delicate balance that must be attained between humans and their environments to make possible
sustainable livelihoods.
