5 Appendix 3 to programme syllabus for Agriculture programme Food Science Instructions for Independent Projects To be sure that the independent project will lead to the fulfilment of the objectives for agronomist diploma, the work shall cover/contain/take into consideration the following aspects: Independent work on advanced level within the Agricultural programme Food Science can be accomplished according to the following course plans: 1. The problem formulation shall relate to food production based on the resources of the agricultural sector. The subject of the independent project shall deal with applied problems of relevance to rural development. 2. Agriculture is regarded as a complex system (agro-system), which is studied from different perspectives. The independent project shall integrate knowledge within food and agricultural science. The literature list is expected to include sources for various areas of knowledge/science. The project is expected to utilise both scientific and professional methods and the link between these. 3. The independent projects shall (as applicable) consider economical, quality, environmental and ethical aspects for individuals, organisations and society of the issue in question. The students are expected to reflect on any goal conflicts and how they can be handled. 4. The students are expected to form an opinion on whether, and if so how, the independent project contributes to sustainable development, i.e. "social development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (Brundtland Commission, 1987). 5. In the project plan, the students shall account for how he/she plant to achieve the above aspects (1 3), and the results shall be accounted for in the project report together with other information. 6. The report shall be written in Swedish with a summary in English, or alternatively written in English with a summary in Swedish. Independent projects at advanced level A2E shall be written in English. A popular description in the form of a press release shall also be prepared ahead of the seminar during which the project is presented.
