Objectives and competences

• gain specific knowledge on management of supplementary activities on farms • develop and use technological-economic simulation models for the planning process of sustainable agricultural production and/or processing, and develop digital competencies. • recognize and develop optimization models • manage computer programs and tools in decision support processes in supplementary activities on farms • develop a business plan for the introduction of supplementary activities on the farm, incorporating green and socially responsible practices

Content (Syllabus outline)

• legislation on supplementary activities (form, registration process, legislation, etc.) – national and international level • organization and planning of supplementary activities on farms (specifics in livestock, fruit and vineyard production, vegetable and crop production, beekeeping, social care, etc.) with an emphasis on self-sufficiency, short supply chains, and the social responsibility of the farm and the decision maker of the supplementary activities • technologic – economics analysis of individual supplementary activities, introduction and use of simulation models in food production and processing, development of enterprise budgets, (case studies analysis) • supplementary activities, economics and management (organization, economics – assessment of economic and financial indicators, case study) • supplementary activities assessment based on sustainability (organization, economics – case studies: computer calculation of economic and financial indicators, investment analysis, decision-making process, etc.) using digital skills and tools. • optimization process of specific supplementary activities at the farm level (case studies) using computer tools and mathematical optimization processes.

Learning and teaching methods

• lectures • laboratory computer lectures • individual research work • field work • excursion and examination

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

Students can define, describe, understand and solve making real-world decision-making problems with the use of the aforementioned methods. Students will be able to independently develop a technologic-economical model in electronic spreadsheets, and analyze and interpret the model results. Students will be able to prepare an individual linear optimization model program tools and interpret it. Students can manage supplementary activities on farms.A student provides a solution within the framework of a case study from practice. Furthermore, the student will be capable of business plan preparation, based on critical thinking and interpreting the results of case studies, which also include "green components" of education.

Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
