Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Designed to provide the basic concepts of agricultural systems with an emphasis on sustainability, to understand the basis of plant production and techniques for production of vines.
The aim is to provide: the perception of the role of water, and its management; the relations of water in the atmosphere with the
meteorological phenomena, the formation of the climate and Agriculture; knowledge of the water cycle, components, relationships, impacts of human activity; knowledge and practical capacity for management techniques, cultural operations of the vineyard, planting, soil maintenance and weed flora, and harvesting, to obtain quality grapes with minimum environmental impact.
It is intended that the student be able to: control the production system integrating knowledge of soil science, climatology and viticulture;
participate in design of new plantations or modification of existing ones; participate in research and experimentation programs; collaborate technically with companies

Teaching Methods
1. Structured exposition of the theoretical subject under study. The syllabus contents are taught using audio-visual means, exposing the theoretical concepts exemplified.
2. Observation, interpretation and resolution of practical assignments, with presentation and discussion, and with a strong intervention component of the students in the interpretation and commentary on the subjects addressed.
3. Learning based on the realization of a Project, throughout the semester, to solve a situation / problem, task or condition, through the planning, design and design of a series of activities and operations to be developed.
Continuous evaluation, with two frequencies of equal quotation (35%) in the middle and end of the
semester, and the elaboration of a Project with research (30%); alternatively final evaluation at the end of
the semester with Written Exam (70%) and Project (30%).
