| Course abstract | |
| the course provides students with knowledge on and develops practical skills in identifying the newest trends in the development of bioeconomies at the global and especially European and national scales. The course deals with primary industries – agriculture, forestry, fisheries–, as well as manufacturing and other industries that exploit biotechnologies, thereby consuming and producing natural, quality, and innovative bioproducts. Their production has to be based on sustainability principles. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| After completing the course students will have:
• knowledge and an understanding that a prudent, rational, and efficient use of Latvia’s resources (land, capital, labour) can contribute to its economic growth and its population’s wellbeing. It can be achieved by developing and employing the findings of bioeconomics; • skills in using their knowledge and understanding on economic growth opportunities, in analysing the development of bioeconomic industries, in taking advantage of deeper, complete, and efficient processing of products that raise their value added, and in tackling the problems of integrating theory and practice; • competence in identifying and forecasting the opportunities for the production of bioproducts with a higher value added and their sales in the domestic and foreign markets, as well as the effects on the growth of bioeconomic industries and their contribution to the national economy. |
