The application of the course has its focus on primary horticultural production but the course has the aim of providing students with knowledge and experience generally applicable within the utilisation and conservation of natural resources.
 
Kursusindhold
· Introduction/recap of the various environmental and resource conservation problems that arise in conjunction with crop production.
· Description, analysis and evaluation of the effects of crop production on the environment and the use of non-renewable resources. Suggestions for change.
· Methods for describing, analysing and evaluating environmental effects, e.g. Life Cycle Analysis and other systems analysis methods. Training in the use of these methods.
· Socio-economic relationships governing the use of finite and renewable resources and energy sources. Ethical aspects. Trade and its consequences for the environment,
· Measures to reduce the negative effects on the environment and the use of finite resources (within e.g. production technology, cultivation technology, cultivation systems, etc.).
· The potential of primary production to enrich the landscape through both biological diversity and aesthetic value.
· Systems for documenting and directing environmental protection. Environmental law.
 
Undervisningsform
The course consists to a large extent of a number of projects that teach the students how to formulate, solve and analyse problematic environmental issues.
