Module 3: Producing: to the farms

  • Dear students,

    Welcome to the third module of ESSAY LAND erasmus+ project!

     

    Are you inspired to join the next generation of scientists and tackle challenges in food security?

    On this module we'll explore the challenges in agriculture starting from the history of agricultural technology and ending to the new technologies that have developed for this area.

    On this module, we aim to a better understanding of where our food comes from, how it’s produced, and the associated environmental, social and sustainability challenges for farmers.  Besides plant production (horticulture) we will  explore animal production (meat, dairy, and egg), fish farmings and beekeeping so as to examine different farming systems. You’ll also identify innovative technologies available to farmers to boost sustainability so that you can better understand farming challenges, and how farming relates to the food in your plate.

     

    In order to be prepared for this module please take a look at the following documentary films:
