N2 - Alternative pedagogical approaches and curriculum transformations are crucial for promoting sustainable agriculture and environmental education. Conventional pedagogical approaches to teaching these subjects often rely on lecture-based methods and rote learning, which can limit students’ engagement and critical thinking skills. Alternative pedagogical approaches, such as transdisciplinary education, experiential learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, and hybrid learning, offer opportunities for student-centered and hands-on learning experiences. These pedagogical methods allow students to utilize their knowledge and skills in addressing real-life problems and projects, resulting in increased involvement and a deeper level of learning, enhancing comprehension of sustainable agriculture and the environment. Additionally, curriculum transformations that integrate agriculture sustainability and environmental education across disciplines and provide interdisciplinary experiences can support a more holistic understanding of these complex and interrelated issues. The integration of innovative alternative pedagogical tools and curriculum changes within the realm of sustainable agriculture and environmental education is crucial in fostering the development of future researchers, farmers, and policymakers, who possess the necessary skills and knowledge to tackle the intricate challenges of promoting sustainability in agriculture and the environment. © 2023 Friends Science Publishers
