The project work will involve collaborations with companies, organizations, research bodies and industry associations

In particular, the study topics refer to:

1. Biodiversity and assessment of ecosystem services

2. Technologies for sustainable plant and animal production

3. Technologies for the analysis and management of agroecosystems

4. Advanced sensors and artificial intelligence for agriculture

5. Economics of innovation in food systems

From theory to practice

The training course includes a 300-hour curricular internship, which will enable a project of ecological transition to be developed in a productive or research context which enables knowledge to be put into practice and skills to be developed for entry into the labour market, also thanks to the intense network of contacts and collaborations with research laboratories, institutions and companies in the sector.

Career prospects

The ability to analyze problems and propose concrete and effective solutions through a multidisciplinary approach allows the graduate in TTEA to operate in managerial and consulting roles, as protagonists of the ecological transition of the food supply chains.
