Hållbar teknik för låg- och medelinkomstländer

Kursens mål är att ge kunskap och förståelse för agrara teknologier för hållbar utveckling och resursutnyttjande i låg- och medelinkomstländer. Kursen tar upp deltagande forskning, socio-ekonomiska aspekter av hållbar utveckling inklusive resiliens och genderperspektiv, liksom mekanisering, tekniköverföring och resurshantering. Kursen inleds med föreläsningar och övningar som behandlar småskalig förnybar energiteknik, småskaliga teknologier för avfall och sanitet, transport-, logistik- och försörjningskedjor för resurseffektivitet i både landsbygd och urbana sammanhang, samt markvård och odlingssystem. Därefter genomförs ett projekt där ett case (t.ex. en by) studeras som ett system där studenterna analyserar resursflöden och presenterar teknik- och hanteringslösningar för bättre hållbarhet och resurseffektivitet.
