• The production of quantitatively sufficient food and access to high-quality food are globally anchored in the Sustainable Development Goals. Continued population growth, climate change, and increased resource use threaten food and nutrition security and thus the livelihoods of millions of small farmers.
• Only with an interdisciplinary effort based on evidence-based, scientific knowledge can a paradigm shift towards agroecological, sustainable, and highly productive agriculture be achieved that will secure these farmers their livelihoods and people their food in the long term.
• The world needs the collaboration of trained scientists from different disciplines to achieve this goal.
• Agritropics provides broad-based knowledge in tropical agriculture and combines interdisciplinary approaches in a degree program that specifically trains you in development-oriented agricultural research, preparing you to lead multidisciplinary teams.
• The program can optionally be studied as a "Single Degree" in Hohenheim or as a "Double Degree" with a stay in the 2nd year at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague  with the title "Tropical Agriculture and Farming Systems".
