Environmental Issues in Crop Production

Education facts

Code: BI1283

Basic subjects are the use of non-renewable resources within crop production, and the effects of these on the environment. The objectives of the course are to be able to propose solutions and preventative measures for crop production that could lead to sustainable practices and the conservation of natural resources. The course has its focus on primary crop production but will also provide students with knowledge and experience generally applicable within the utilization and conservation of natural resources, whether the crop is used for food, feed, raw materials for industry or urban landscape management. Handling and documentation of the environmental policy of an enterprise will also be taken up. Summarized, the course has three main areas; description of the situation, analysis from different points of view (based on Life Cycle Assessment and other systems analysis methods), and suggestions for change.
