Abstract
Education in the fields of agriculture and the environment at tertiary level should be closely related. This review considers the continuing need to increase global food production and intensive agriculture and the associated research and education infrastructure as biased toward specified outputs without sufficient emphasis on environmental values. The argument includes both more and less developed countries and in particular the environmental impact of poverty. The compromises that occur between food production and environmental preservation and care require improved understanding which can be developed if agricultural education is conceived as a component of natural resource management. This will allow the inclusion of moral and social elements into agricultural courses to a greater extent than at present, indicate the relationships between environmental and agricultural education, and provide indicators of the direction for future investment for international development agencies.
