Aims
Agricultural sustainability considers many perspectives, including biological, ecological, social, economic, political, and ethical. The general objective of the course is to explore the sustainability aspects of herbaceous crop cultivation based on the use of different cultivation methods. The methods mainly concern integrated cultivation and pest management, and organic farming. The specific objectives concern acquiring knowledge and personal skills in i) understanding and distinguishing the best cultivation methods to be applied based on the agronomical/social characteristics of a territory; ii) being able to choose/indicate the optimal cropping systems and rotations at farm level also considering the territorial context; iii) study and recognise opportunities and improvement aspects for enhancing the sustainability of the context.
Contents
The main cultivation methods covered during the course are integrated cultivation, pest management, and organic farming related to herbaceous crops. Furthermore, farming systems and techniques such as minimum tillage, precision farming, rotations, government-sponsored agronomic management, and emerging agroecological methods are considered. Aiming to understand the aspects that influence the sustainability of cultivation, there will be a focus on the opportunities and the need to improve sustainable cultivation methods of herbaceous crops. The crop study will include: the origin and diffusion; morphological and physiological characteristics; cultural needs; strategic cultivation choices; harvest characteristics and post-harvest / processing management; and description of qualities/properties (from field to table). Because of the global and multidisciplinary structure of the master, the course will deal with the main cereal crops (e.g. wheat, barley and other less common cereals) and forage crops (the main species belonging to the Poaceae and Fabaceae families) and grain legumes (e.g. for zootechnical use such as pea forage or human use such as beans). Furthermore, lessons will be concerned with no food cultivation systems (e.g. energy use) or herbaceous species used to improve biodiversity in agricultural contexts.

The course will deal in depth with the rice crop, very specific from the point of view of its agroenvironment. The different aspects that will allow students to acquire an exhaustive knowledge of the temperate rice production will be addressed, in particular: the origin of rice, morphology, growth and development of rice plant, the climatic environment effects on rice production, chemical changes in submerged rice soils, systems of rice culture, agronomic techniques (land preparation, water management, fertilizer management, insects, disease, and weed control), rice species and varieties and breeding goals, postproduction technology of rice.
The implications of cultivation techniques on food safety will also be discussed, with particular reference to inorganic contaminants (cadmium and arsenic) in rice grain.
An important space will be dedicated to organic, integrated and sustainable production methods.
In the field of organic farming, specific cultivation methods for rice will be described. Considering crop rotation, soybean will be treated in detail. Rice-Soybean crop rotation is fundamental for organic rice production.
With regard to integrated rice production, alternative methods to the chemical for the control of pest, disease and weed, the increase of nutrient use efficiency and the sustainable use of pesticides will be considered. Precision farming methods will consider variable rate application of nitrogen fertilization in top dressing.
Sustainable rice production will deal at first the climate change issue and the methods to mitigate the GHG emissions especially methane emissions. Increase the carbon content of the paddy soils has positive effect both on environment and soil fertility. Cover crops for green manuring are among the most promising practices in this regard. Finally, conservative agriculture will deal minimum tillage and sod seeding specific for rice.

The teaching course comprehensively explores key topics at the intersection of nutrition, food safety, and public health. It begins with an overview of the triple burden of malnutrition, addressing undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and overweight/obesity as interconnected global challenges. The relationship between food systems, biodiversity, and health is then examined, emphasizing the role of sustainable practices in ensuring optimal nutritional outcomes.
Food security, food knowledge, and food safety are fundamental components of the program, equipping students with the necessary tools to assess and mitigate risks associated with food production and consumption. The course also covers the regulatory framework surrounding health claims, initially through theoretical concepts and later reinforced with practical applications.
A critical aspect of the curriculum involves food contamination, delving into microbiological, chemical, and physical hazards that compromise food safety. Main foodborne diseases are discussed extensively, with an applied case study approach to enhance students' analytical skills. Complementing this, guidelines for preventing contamination are provided, offering essential strategies for minimizing foodborne risks.
Food allergies represent another significant theme, addressing the mechanisms of allergic reactions, risk analysis methods, and action levels for food allergens. Students engage in practical case study discussions to deepen their understanding of allergen management in food production.
The course further integrates the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), outlining its application in food safety design and realization. The role of nutrients and their interactions is explored alongside the emerging field of functional and novel foods, including an in-depth seminar on the utilization of insects as novel food sources.
Thermal processing of food is discussed, highlighting the impact of heat treatments on food safety and quality. Food packaging, including materials and technologies, is examined in detail, with an emphasis on sustainability. A dedicated seminar on food waste addresses the environmental and economic implications of food losses, while another session explores sustainable food packaging solutions.
Interactive learning methods are incorporated throughout the course, including a Kahoot training session designed to reinforce key concepts through engaging digital quizzes. Seminars and discussions allow students to engage with contemporary issues in food science, ensuring a well-rounded and application-oriented learning experience.

Il corso è finalizzato alla conoscenza degli elementi base del disegno tecnico, i fondamenti della grafica computerizzata, i principali strumenti informatici per il disegno tecnico (CAD) e le relative modalità applicative. La conoscenza e capacità di utilizzo di detti strumenti si rivela essere un importante supporto nel processo formativo e nell'attività professionale: al termine del percorso lo studente sarà in grado di progettare in autonomia disegni tecnici bidimensionali con AutoCAD, gestire i comandi del software sfruttando appieno le nuove funzionalità introdotte, sfruttare le potenzialità del programma per la progettazione in generale. Gli strumenti di sviluppo di AutoCAD permettono di svolgere velocemente un progetto, dalla fase concettuale alla realizzazione finale, riducendo al minimo le operazioni ripetitive e velocizzando il lavoro. AutoCAD offre un ampio set di strumenti per rendere più efficienti i processi di disegno e documentazione in qualsiasi settore. Al termine lo studente potrà sostenere l’esame per il conseguimento della Patente Europea Specialised del CAD (ICDL CAD 2D), riconosciuta a livello Europeo e spendibile per concorsi pubblici e privati.
