Advanced agroecology

In this module, different practices to evolve agricultural practices towards sustainable agriculture will be presented, discussed and criticized. Among these, the use of ADTs, alternative fertilizers, soil bacteria, and agroforestry will be treated in depth. The visit to the Restinclière site, of the Frayssinet company, makes it possible to make the concepts seen in class more concrete.

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