Course content
This educational discipline dedicated to the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of agroecosystems, their dynamics and evolution, the influence of various environmental and economic factors on them human activity, the essence of the concepts "agrobiosphere" and "agroecosystem", as well as formation of skills and abilities to solve the main environmental problems in the plane of the subject area of agroecology, principles and modern methods that are used to solve them. The discipline "Agroecology" is aimed at deepening of theoretical geoecological knowledge, formation of students accumulation of special professional, social and personal competencies knowledge about the possibility of critical thinking, analysis and synthesis, ability ability to search, process and analyze information from various sources identify, formulate and solve problems in the field of agricultural production. Separate components of the discipline are the study of methods and methods increasing sustainability and ensuring sustainable development of agroecosystems; ways management of nature protection processes in agroecosystems; principles rational use and protection of components of agroecosystems from exposure adverse anthropogenic and technogenic factors; research methods consequences of adverse changes in agroecosystems. The functional block of the discipline involves mastering the following components, such as the ability to apply basic knowledge of natural sciences and information technologies in the field of agricultural activity, ability to apply quantitative and qualitative methods of agroecosystem research, ability to independently research, analyze spatio-temporal changes of agroecosystems for purposes rational nature management.
