Hello dear,
Summer is almost here and we got an idea!
This cross-disciplinary course will explore various issues that are currently relevant to the sustainable agriculture. It is designed for students who would like to learn more about environment friendly issues in agriculture.
The first week of the Summer School intends to provide the theoretical knowledge and understanding of Lithuanian Agriculture system, challenges and opportunities in the local ecosystem. Students will get knowledge about successful entrepreneurship and high value-added agri-food sector in Lithuania. Do You know about things in green taxation? Don’t you know that yet? So, you will discuss about this during Summer’s School activities. Students will discuss animal diseases and health challenges which are constantly evolving so the participants will get to know about their impact on the global economy, human health and sustainable development.
