Forestry

Objectives and Skills

Train qualified technicians with technical and scientific capacity to be able to provide services in the various aspects of Agro-forestry Sciences, having to be able to:

  • interpret, execute, implement projects and make decisions with autonomy;
  • draw up plans for the installation, ordering and management of production systems and be able to prepare guiding plans for forest management;
  • take autonomous and correct decisions in the areas of forestry and forest planning from a perspective of sustainable management of resources;
  • evaluate natural resources and be able to design their exploitation from an economic and sustainable perspective;
  • apply the current technological tools complementary to the development of professional activity, in the areas of forest inventory, forest exploitation and controlled burning;
  • integrate agroforestry products into distribution and commercialization chains, based on marketing, innovation and entrepreneurship strategies.

The future graduate will have skills in several areas such as: forestry, forest fires, geographic information systems, forest inventory and management of a forest company.

The degree in Agronomic Engineering – Forestry is endowed with solid training in:

  • basic knowledge in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Genetics and Technologies necessary for their area of intervention.
  • complementary, in social, human and business sciences.
  • advanced, in the areas of forestry production, plant multiplication, planning and ordering of agro-forestry and landscape resources, forest exploitation, silviculture of green spaces, forest fires and geographic information systems.
