Alongside conventional farming, sustainable and ecological agriculture is becoming increasingly important — and requires solid technical expertise.
Certificate-level courses provide the practical foundations needed to enter the agricultural sector. Building on this, Diploma programs cover a broad range of topics, including strategic planning, crop and livestock production, ecology, farm management, marketing strategies and regulatory frameworks.
