This course focuses on the need of sustainable management of the Earth's depleting natural resources such as soil, water, forest, minerals and biological resources, in relation to the growth of the human population. The range of topics covered in the course will provide students with a wider perspective on many national and international natural resource management (NRM) issues. Farm based technologies and simulation modeling is an important aspect of modern day NRM. Appropriate NRM is the key to the sustainable development.

Intended audience: Under graduate and post graduate students, professional, practitioner in the discipline of Agriculture, Rural Technology, Rural Development, Agricultural Engineering, Environmental Science, Environmental Study, Ecology, Natural Resources Management etc.

Prerequisites: Bachelor Degree in any Engineering and/ or Science discipline.
