FARMERS’ SURVEY FOR MASTER’S DISSERTATION - Socio-economic evaluation of mixed farming system as an agroecological contribution to climate resilience

Does it?
Wish someone had told me this when I was doing my masters, I might have hoped that it would do more than be gathering dust on a bookshelf somewhere in the depths of the University of Bangor's library......:LOL:

No disrespect to the OP, but it is far more likely that beyond his or her supervisor, nobody will ever read it, ever.

Were any papers to be forthcoming from the study, that might be a different story, but again, whilst this is more likely to happen from an MSc thesis than a BSc one, it is still pretty unlikely - this isn't PhD work.
to an extent yes but the risk is that a wrong conculsion that ties in with the opinions of say the rewilding or the woke brigade, will sudenly get quoted as "recent research shows" .. the detail will never be discussed but its existence will.
 
One thing I always wonder - why does a uni student with zero experience or back ground in ag, end up deciding to write their dissertation on one point of it? And why does a tutor say, hey kid, sounds like an excellent idea, do your dissertation on something you have zero knowledge of. Assumedly the tutor will have looked over the survey and it’s questions, and so I guess they must have zero experience or understanding of agriculture as well.

So can I ask what course this is for? Why you chose this topic ? And how come the uni hasn’t given you an appropriate tutor ?

It won't be published anywhere save the university library under normal circumstances, so they'd have to look pretty damn hard.
