The project aims to set up a dynamic and multidisciplinary new curriculum that will offer specific micro-credentials to students in each university partner. The topics addressed will be biodiversity and sustainability of the food systems and their implication in the society. The biodiversity of crops, animals, pests, microbes etc. that contribute to food production, is a valuable component in the global push towards circular & sustainable — more efficient, resilient and less wasteful — agro-food- farming systems.
The course is organized into three main blocks:
Teaching (April – May 2022) – 30 hrs, blended course
Practical lab (May-June 2022) – 35 hrs, in one of the partner universities
Tutored project/Teamwork (July 2022) – 2 weeks, research-oriented activities
The project is also organized into 3 pillars:
Biodiversity, Sustainability & Resource-saving
Innovative solutions and mitigation strategies
Economy and society
All seminars from all pillars will be recorded and stored in a Moodle platform. Students can watch them at any time.
