Program details
Overview
The Higher Technology programme in Agroecology prepares students to work in the agricultural field with an integrated approach. Students learn to manage family farming production units, agricultural companies, cooperatives and producer associations, and to support local governments.
The curriculum teaches agricultural and livestock production techniques that integrate traditional knowledge with modern practice. Students develop the capacity to approach farm management as a whole, linking crops, livestock and community needs.
The programme page sets out a timetable that starts in the late afternoon, with classes that combine virtual and in-person sessions and practical work on Saturdays or by agreement with a tutor. Students also learn to plan production cycles that support family economies, local markets and community organisation. Their work often involves cooperatives and producer associations, so collaboration is part of the training.
