Agriculture

About the course

Agriculture plays an important role in the world in general and in human society in particular – the development of agriculture, from its inception until now, has made it possible to greatly increase the amount of food available to human society, and thus to make possible the increase in world population to its current level. Fierce competition in the local and global markets today requires that farmers have a broad and comprehensive understanding of the fields of economics and technology. Farmers need to manage water resources wisely, to become more environmentally-friendly and know how to improve plant varieties.
