- The course aims to provide students with theoretical knowledge and develop first application skills related to the characteristics of the many tools available today relating to integrated design for agri-food systems.
This knowledge, also through the presentation of case studies of integrated design, is the prerequisite for acquiring the skills necessary for the concrete implementation of these tools in the agricultural reality. The course is aimed at students who want to professionally engage in the use of these tools. - Reference texts
