What is the objective of the course? What is it?
What does it train you for?
What does it train you for?
The Degree Course in Mediterranean Agricultural Systems aims to address the areas of primary production (plant production and animal production) from a supply chain perspective within the Sicilian territory and the areas that fall within the Mediterranean basin, which are characterized by a strong environmental fragility and also as a function of climate change. In fact, operators in the agricultural sector will increasingly have to deal with the demands and rules dictated by large-scale organized distribution, current food safety regulations, and changes in lifestyles and consumption. All this requires the training of professionals who have a full awareness of the use of nonrenewable resources and the greater efficiency of the technical means that agronomic sciences make available and, therefore, to use them to guarantee the agricultural entrepreneur and the end consumer line with the main international standards of quality certification of production processes and in compliance with the principles of sustainable development reported in Agenda 2030 and the European green deal.
What do you learn?
Undergraduate training in Mediterranean Agricultural Systems meets the need to train graduates capable of dealing with aspects related to primary production (plant and animal production) in a context of great environmental fragility that characterizes the hot-arid environment of the Mediterranean. The Degree Course in Mediterranean Agricultural Systems aims to train an expert capable of introducing adaptation strategies (use of unconventional water, use of agronomic techniques for maintaining and improving soil fertility) to continue to ensure the presence of agricultural crops that are strongly characteristic of the Mediterranean basin and to introduce others, such as tropical and sub-tropical plant species in a supply chain perspective.
What can you do with it?
In a context where the demand for food safety and quality of the environmental system is increasingly pressing, the new professional figure of the junior agronomist in Mediterranean Agricultural Systems has skills on the full awareness of the use of nonrenewable resources and the greater efficiency of the technical means that agronomic science allows and, therefore, to use them to guarantee the agricultural entrepreneur and the final consumer in line with the main international standards of quality certification of production processes. The graduate in Mediterranean Agricultural Systems can enroll in Bachelor's and Master Degree programs at the undergraduate level. Registration in the Professional Register of Agronomists and Foresters, Section B (Junior Graduates) is expected after passing the State Examination for qualification to the profession.
