Learning outcomes
The course illustrates the evolution of agricultural systems by linking the notions on the origin of the main crops with the current and future developments of the biotechnological sector in order to meet the needs of sustainable agriculture. The course aims to stimulate interest in the applications and themes addressed in the agro-industrial sector by addressing the evolution of modern agriculture in relation to climate change and population growth. The course aims to make the student aware of the main characteristics of agricultural systems, understanding the diversity and importance of safeguarding biodiversity and genetic resources.
