It also considers the associated policies, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the sector. AFECO students delve into subjects like agricultural economics, food economics, and policy analysis. They learn to address real-world challenges, such as resource preservation and sustainable practices. This education prepares them to make informed decisions that benefit both the economy and the environment. By studying at the University of Bonn, students gain the tools to contribute to a sustainable future.
