Conceptualization, preparation and conduction of guided excursions and mini-courses to pilot field sites of mountain farming systems mainly in the South Tirol, Italy. The pilot field sites already exist work with state-of-the-art smart farming technologies.
Laboratory Exercises
UNIBZ is able to offer precise and hands-on modules and exercises to students and LLL.
