The aim is to give students a broad introduction to agriculture and

In this course we seek to give an overview of the soil-plant-animal
relationship of food production in the north. Topics include plant
production with emphasis on forage and grass production from
cultivated and natural pastures. Furthermore, students will learn
about the physiology of the grazing animals with a focus on animal
nutrition. Ecological constraints of the use of natural pastures by
grazing animals will also be covered. The course aims to give an
understanding of the natural preconditions for food production in the
north, and which management schemes the farmers and reindeer
herders have undertaken to meet these conditions. | Form of teaching
