A cross-posting of interest:

Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to our course, now entering its second year, and hope you will find it of interest.
Crossfields Institute an educational charity based in the UK, in partnership with Alanus University in Germany, have pioneered a distance learning course entitled Researching Holistic Approaches to Agroecology that follows a pathway from a postgraduate certificate through to a full Masters.
This course provides an opportunity for deepening research into Holistic Approaches to Agroecology (permaculture, organics, biodynamics, urban ag., social dimensions of agriculture etc.) .
It is a distance learning course, so can be undertaken anywhere on the planet! It includes optional intensives where we get together for workshops, lectures, seminars, food, social sessions.
If you would be interested to learn more, details can be found on
