During theory classes the content and scope of the subject will be explained in a reasoned way, exposing real examples of soil management practices in various situations (i.e., conventional and ecological olive groves), as well as the recommended bibliography will be commented critically. In the laboratory classes we will familiarize the students with basic determinations in the field about soil fertility, on material specific of olive grove soils. Work will be carried out in the resolution of exercises and the preparation of works (preferably from individual type) under the premise of teacher-student interactivity.
Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support
Most of the evaluation will be carried out through a written exam, although the involvement of the student will be very important through questions in class, delivery of solved exercises and elaboration and exhibition of complementary works; In addition to the development of practical laboratory and field contents.

In terms of the environment, the essential objective is to alleviate the serious problems caused by climate change and desertification. Among the actions that must be carried out in this field, we can highlight those to combat inorganic waste by promoting recycling, raising awareness about the management of natural resources, training in techniques for recovering degraded land (improving soil fertilization ) and fight against erosion), as well as raising awareness in the fight against deforestation. Mitigating and alleviating the negative effects of climate change and desertification involves supporting productive development through increasing the income of agricultural producers (SDG 1, SDG 2 and SDG 5). This result will be achieved through: i) improving the capacity for sustainable agricultural and livestock production, ii) improving the conservation capacities of agricultural products, and iii) supporting the transformation of agricultural products and access to markets.
Strengthening the resilience of the most vulnerable populations, especially women and children, through access to food, health services and drinking water and sanitation (SDG 2, SDG 3, SDG 4, SDG 5 and SDG 6).
Other objectives would be related to ending hunger, achieving food security and sovereignty, improving nutrition, as well as promoting sustainable agriculture and resilient productive and agricultural processes (SDG 2). Other objectives would be: SDG 12, by seeking sustainable management of agriculture and the efficient use of natural resources; providing information and knowledge for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with the natural environment; contributing to the strengthening of its scientific and technological capacity in order to advance towards more sustainable consumption and production patterns. SDG 15, by ensuring the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems; promote the sustainable management of natural vegetation, stop deforestation, recover degraded forests and increase reforestation; fight desertification, rehabilitate degraded lands and soils; ensure the conservation of biological diversity; and promote sustainable livelihood opportunities.
