Syllabus

The following topics will be dealt with in the course: definitions of government and governance of a territory; Systemic vision of the territory and determinants of territorial value; Tools and strategies of territorial organization; Indicators of territorial sustainability of welfare; Stakeholder approach and systems with an agricultural and rural vocation; The new European agricultural model towards the circular economy; Territorial excellences; The poles of rural excellence; Territorial corporate identity strategies; Agenda 2030 and the future of rural areas.

The course aims at encouraging students to understand the theoretical rules and tools that are the basis of sustainable territorial governance and related processes.
In particular, knowledge will be provided to stimulate the student's ability to understand the issues related to the sustainability of well-being and the definition, design and implementation of sustainable territorial governance strategies with a specific focus on businesses operating in territorial systems with an agricultural vocation. In this regard, the course aims to encourage preparation that integrates the learning of the methodological and content bases needed to understand the problems of territorial government and the ability to interpret concrete business situations.

Teaching Methods

The course includes lectures. During the course, readings will be provided by the teacher and they are not available on the moodle platform.
During the course of the lessons, will be arranged tests, reserved for those who regularly follow classroom lessons.
This method does not correspond to an additional institutional call to examination.
In the first call after the end of the course, the student will be able to do one of the tests; in this case the new test will completely replace the old (vote included), or it will be able to do the exam in "normal" mode.
A student who does not intend to use this faculty will of course do the exam in "normal mode".
