Learning Outcome: | Considering the current state of natural resources in tropical regions with their advanced level of deterioration, the problems of global warming and social imbalance, it is a high priority challenge to develop and promote strategies that focus on the proper and sustainable management of agroecosystems in these regions. The aim of this course is to provide students with the knowledge that is necessary as basis for a sustainable management of tropical agroecosystems. It is expected that students will become able to analyse the challenges for managing agroecosystems under the changing climate and to know different approaches for carrying out research and monitoring within them, as well as to assess technologies to improve their conditions. Soil properties and interactions between agroecosystem components will be used for understanding their potential and limitations. Soil indicators, ecosystems services and approaches for obtaining proper information as well as tools for planning tropical agroecosystems will be assessed. Each issue will be addressed through case studies and examples at different scales where students will have the possibility to analyse the process of decision-making for the proper sustainable management. |
