Attention is also paid to soil ecology in agroecosystems, environmental problems of agriculture and agroecological analysis of main production systems. The farmer's role in the landscape is explained to students in practical examples, as well as essential systems of management and the concept of sustainable agricultural systems. Meaning, history, objectives and position of forestry. Non-productive functions of forests (climatic, water-management, soil-protection, land-shaping).
