Objective
The EcoDEVA specialization is based on the transmission of theoretical and methodological knowledge applied to issues involving agricultural and agri-food development, food, and the management of natural resources and the environment in both developed and developing countries.
The course allows students to acquire a capacity for analysis and research at the interface between agricultural development, environmental conservation and agrifood production issues. It provides insights into the functioning of markets and the regulation of environmental protection and the preservation of natural resources.
Themes
- agriculture and rural development, farms and farm organizations
- Mediterranean and tropical countries
- natural resources, environment, territories

- And theoretical courses: New institutional economics, Public economic calculus, Economic sociology and anthropology
In the last teaching unit, students choose three options.
- Option 1 – Food and sustainability
- Option 2 – Institutional analysis applied to the food sector
- Option 3 – Institutions anddevelopment

The courses are complemented by training in research, first by having students participate in research seminars for an overview of how the scientific community operates, then through work on their theses.
