Lincoln University's Bachelor of Environment and Society prepares students to tackle the big issues around how we live on this planet. The world is changing. Resources are dwindling and the population is growing. This creates increasing pressure on food security, fresh water, ecosystems and indigenous culture. How do we increase productivity in the land-based industries while reducing negative impacts on the environment?
