Students will learn about system attributes of agricultural production. The strong relation of agriculture to the environmental conditions will be explained. Basic tools of agricultural management will be placed in broader context. Main concepts of crop rotations, soil tillage, and crop protection will be presented. Information will be given about novel and progressive methods used in crop husbandry. In practical lessons, students will create a project on farming practices commonly used in their countries. They will evaluate the environmental conditions of concrete area suitable for farming. Subsequently, they will design a functional crop rotation. For each crop in their rotation they will propose technology of soil tillage and crop protection methods.
