Learning outcomes
Knowledge

The course will provide a general overview of the ways in which agricultural knowledge, both traditional and innovative, is informed, defined and regulated in the European innovation-driven society.

The main objective is to critically scrutinize the framework and evolution of EU Agricultural Law, that is meant as an engine of knowledge-led institutional innovation aimed at boosting more resilient and sustainable agricultural practices.

Assessment criteria of knowledge

Assessment aims at evaluating the student’s ability to reason and rigorously analyse the topics covered during the course, as well as the proper use of legal terminology to explain agriculture-related normative issues. The correct use of the English language will be also evaluated, together with the capacity of linking issues to each other through a comprehensive approach.

Skills

At the end of the course, the student will be able to critically describe and analyse, from a normative perspective, the different areas where EU legislation is increasingly evolving in addressing the relationship between agriculture, the market and society.

The student is expected to be able to successfully deliver a critical analysis and discussion of agriculture-related legal issues, using suitable and proper technical language.

Regardless of previous background, at the end of the course the student will have hold learning capacities suitable to lead him/her to sufficiently comprehend pieces of legislations and courts’ judgments.

Behaviors
  • Students will acquire and/or develop an awareness of environmental issues.
Prerequisites

 Attendance at lessons is encouraged and highly recommended. No requirements are needed for attending the course. However, interest and intellectual curiosity for an ethical-legal reflection on the agricultural sector is expected.

Teaching methods

2) Presentations of case studies aimed at learning how to approach the vast array of legal documents.

3) Class discussions aimed to critically deconstruct legal rules and courts' rulings.
