Learning objectives
The objective of the course is to provide the fundamental elements for assuming investment decisions inside the agro-herboristic farm. The decision moment is one of the most important moments of the farm life, because the farmer has to evaluate the investment in term of economic and financial feasibility.
In order to decide, farmers need a high amount of information taken by the internal and external environment. The farm holding should know very precisely the patrimonial, economic and financial relations driving its activity. In this framework, it is important to know the tools to build a formal farm information system.
The course is not limited to the formal farm accountancy information system, but it will provide the instruments for understanding the sector policies. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) represents an important factor for orienting the farmer decision process and for this reasong it cannot be neglected.
