Content
Partim A: field crops and market gardening in temperate regions
- Lectures :
Sustainable agriculture: organic farming, conservation agriculture, agroecology. Rotation, tillage and sowing, organic and mineral fertilization, ecological requirements and crop cycles, phytosanitary protection (weeds, diseases, pests), harvests, environmental impact, excursions: farm visits (conventional, organic and conservation agriculture)
- excursions: farm visits
Partim B : tropical cultures
- Lectures :
Family farming. Cropping systems and main agricultural ecologies of tropical regions; food crops; perennial crops; crop associations
Partim C: fruit crops in temperate regions
Horticultural techniques in fruit growing (cutting, grafting, layering); physiology of growth, flowering and fruiting; growing systems

Teaching methods
Lectures, largely illustrated with photos and diagrams, visits to agricultural service websites (warnings, manuring advice), direct observation of engine parts
- Follow-up of culture development by plant dissection
- Farm tours with agricultural service specialists and farmers
