It is widely recognised that most environmental problems, whether small-scale or global, are the result of a complex interaction of natural processes with economic forces and decisions. This course provides graduates with a sound theoretical base and practical appreciation of environmental and natural resource economics. It is designed to suit students with a primary interest in issues and policies concerning the rural environment.
