Development of Agricultural Production ProcessesLaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

Purpose of the course

After completing this course, you will be able to choose suitable machinery and equipment chains to achieve the production objectives of an agricultural company. You will be able to search data for meanings relevant to production implementation and interpret their effects to support the development of production at farm level. You will be able to compare and find solutions for performing work in different forms of agricultural production and evaluate the rationality of changing production on the basis of the applicability of machinery, buildings and know-how of a developing farm.
