Course Objectives

This course consists of two parts:

Environmental economics. This concerns the impact of the economy on the environment, the significance of the environment to the economy, and the appropriate way of regulating economic activity so that balance is achieved among environmental, economic, and other social goals. (Kolstad, 2011)

Business management & strategy. This part of the course deals with how firms can incorporate environmental and sustainability issues into their managerial decisions and business strategy.

The aims of the course are twofold:

On one hand to provide with the necessary knowledge of basic economic principles, models and tools to understand and analyse environmental issues relevant to agriculture and food production.

On the other hand the course aims to provide with the fundamental principles of business management and strategy of environmental quality and sustainability.

On completion of the course, students will be able to:

- understand the concepts of efficiency and economic welfare and apply them to analysis of environmental quality

- compare different methods for valuation of the environment

- understand the foundations of cost – benefit analysis

- understand the relation between agriculture, the environment and climate change

- understand different environmental policy instruments

- understand the basic instruments of EU environmental and climate policies

- understand and apply principles of sustainable strategy, management, entrepreneurship, sustainable business models and green marketing
