Advanced Agroecology

In this module, different practices to move agricultural practices towards sustainable agriculture will be presented, discussed and critiqued. Among them, the use of DMOs, alternative fertilizers, soil bacteria, and agroforestry will be discussed in depth. The visit of the Restinclière site, of the Frayssinet company, will allow to make more concrete the notions seen in class.

Students also have a 5-minute video to make around an agroecology practice.
