he present portfolio of the faculty fully reflects the recent European trends – to complement the primary productive function of agriculture with its non-productive ones. The broader perspective encompasses not only particular technologies, but also the context in which agriculture operates, including natural, social, economic and cultural aspects. Rural space / countryside / land-scape issues attract still growing interest as both the subject of teaching and research realized at the Faculty.
