This unit aims to provide students with professional exposure to current state-of-the-art approaches to the science of Agronomy. It focuses on future trends in
Agronomy in the contexts of current research, extension and commercial practice,
with particular emphasis on the environmental and socio-economic sustainability
of agronomic production systems.

usefulness of these models/tools as discussion support systems in the contexts of
agriculture, horticulture, food and environmental risk and opportunity management.
