They have become familiarised with the fundamental legal regulations governing the use of natural resources, with account taken of the connection between regulations on natural resources, spatial and environmental law and sectoral legal disciplines (for instance agricultural, forestry, water and mining law). They are familiar with the interaction between events in the environment and the plants we cultivate, and are able to foresee the consequences that can arise through certain agricultural measures and impact the wider environment and people.
