Learning unit contents
Mitigation of agricultural practices aims at reducing the adverse impacts of agriculture on environment and public health.
After a general overview of the thematic of impact mitigation of human activities, the course presents the concept of mitigation through the description of plant protection product application.
The students are asked to transpose concepts seen at theoretical classes to an original agricultural problematic of their choice in the practical work.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
After completing the course, the student is expected to be capable to apply the mitigation concept to a new agricultural problematic.
