You acquire knowledge of natural sciences, including ecology, biology, chemistry, and soil science, as well as an understanding of processes in agricultural ecosystems. These competencies are complemented by knowledge of environmentally friendly farming systems, sustainable land management, and the principles of ecological agriculture. Emphasis is placed on the protection of natural resources, biodiversity conservation, and the relationship between agricultural activities and the landscape. You will be able to apply principles of sustainable development, analyse environmental impacts of agricultural production, and propose appropriate solutions in practice. They find employment in agricultural primary production, environmental and advisory organisations, public administration, and enterprises focused on ecological farming and landscape care.
