PRACTICE AND ETHICS IN AGRICULTURE

Course Description

This course brings the student up to date with new developments in agriculture as well as the new developments in the common sphere of agriculture and other sectors of the economy. Agriculture has definite effects on nature, on the environment and on man himself. As humans are the initiators and propagators of agriculture, human activity should be bound to ethical rules regarding agriculture and should be liable for all the consequences of human activity. This course also encompasses the theory and practice of agricultural ethics aiming at the establishment of a mutually beneficial relationship between agriculture and nature and covers topics such as sustainability, the protection of breeders’ rights and upholding of standards governing true-to-type breeding.
