Latvia is one of Europe's greenest countries — more than half its territory is forested, and its landscapes encompass Baltic coastline, river floodplains, wetlands, and agricultural lowlands that are among the least intensively farmed in the EU. The Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies (LBTU) in Jelgava is the leading institution for agricultural, veterinary, and environmental sciences in the Baltic states, with strong research connections to Nordic and EU institutions. Latvia's membership in the EU Common Agricultural Policy framework, its growing organic farming sector (one of the highest organic land shares in the EU), and its genuine biodiversity make it a compelling place to study land, water, food, and environmental systems.
