Course unit content

The course is made up of two modules.
Module 1, Applied Ecology - aims to provide basic scientific knowledge, resulting from the evolution of ecological thought and research, to understand the main structural and functional characteristics of agroecosystems and address the problems of exploitation and conservation of natural resources and management of altered environmental processes in the agri-food sector.

Module 2, Food production and climate crisis - intends to provide knowledge relating to the main biotic and abiotic factors that influence food production with particular regard to primary production and the complex interaction that exists between environmental conditions, agriculture, genetic resources, and food security. The ongoing climate crisis is linked to food production by a complex cause-effect relationship and the course aims to provide the cultural tools to understand it.
