Introduction
Bachelor Future Agriculture
Agriculture faces numerous challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, lack of resources, pest infestation and increasing consumer demands. Agricultural technologists work on innovative solutions to overcome these challenges. The degree provides the platform to develop new ideas, build technical skills and advance agriculture through innovation. In addition, agricultural technology places great emphasis on sustainability and the responsible use of natural resources. By developing and applying environmentally friendly cultivation practices, water management techniques and resource-efficient approaches, agricultural technologists can help reduce the environmental impact of agriculture and protect biodiversity.
EASY START - focused, fast and yet flexible
