Learning objectives
The course aims to train professionals for the purpose of enhancing the distinctive food production of mountain areas. In particular, a strong background will be provided aimed at the qualitative and food safety characterization of mountain food products in relation to both the biodiversity of the various agro-zootenic supply chains in terms of composition and the possibility of creating innovative products. Skills will therefore be provided in the field of high added value mountain supply chains such as milk and derivatives, honey and bee products, saffron, as well as meat and game supply chain and the specific peculiarities in relation to the characterization of the productions and the specific characteristics interconnected with the mountain environment.
Expected learning outcomes
Good command and understanding of the scientific method of investigation and aptitude for a multi-disciplinary approach to the characterization of food production in mountain chains; they will be able to carry out and manage research activities, in order to promote technological innovation to guarantee quality, innovation and sustainability for the enhancement of animal and plant biodiversity characterizing mountain areas.
