What you study
The studies combine theoretical knowledge in biotechnology with practical knowledge in agriculture in order to develop and increase the production of high-quality, healthy food from plants and animals, and the production of raw materials for industry operating in a healthy, clean environment. The curriculum includes learning about natural resources and their use, plant health, food chemistry and biochemistry, natural sciences, organic chemistry, environmental sciences, understanding the interactions between crops and animals and their environment while creating optimal conditions to improve yields and their quality, as well as economics, management, and marketing in the context of overall farm operations.
