Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Food Agricultural and Resource Economics (Co-op)

Program Overview

The food and agriculture sector connects people with the world’s natural resource base and is at the heart of many of the most pressing global issues. In this major, students will acquire the analytical and management skills needed to effectively deal with emerging issues and challenges related to food and agriculture, such as food poverty, food safety and insecurity, and sustainability. Building on an understanding of economic theory and applied methods in both the Canadian and world contexts, a variety of career opportunities arise in industry, government agencies and non-governmental organizations.

Beyond the core offering, the major provides the flexibility for students to pursue thematic areas of study, as well as an opportunity to take additional liberal arts courses. In addition, this major provides excellent background for those students planning to undertake graduate work in food, agricultural or resource economics and other fields of applied economics.

The principle aim of the Co-op program in Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics is to facilitate the transition of students from academic studies to a professional career by enhancing the integration of theory and practice. 

The major is administered by the Department of Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics in the Ontario Agricultural College and students are urged to consult the faculty advisor.

The Co-op program in Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics is a five year program, including five work terms.
