Agriculture and society: distance course in agrarian history
I vår distanskurs i agrarhistoria får du veta mer om hur tidigare generationer brukat jorden och brottats med problematiken kring att producera tillräckligt med mat för människor och djur utan att utarma jorden.
Fokus ligger på tidsperioden som sträcker sig från medeltiden och fram till 1900-talets stora förändringar utifrån tema såsom markanvändning, bebyggelse, arbete och djurhållning.
Vi hoppas få se Dig på kursen i höst!
