b . Specific formulation for this activity AA program (maximum 10)
At the end of this activity, the student will be able to :
· understand the general functioning of the horticultural company in which the student has evolved,
· identify a limiting factor to the production,
· synthesize the state of knowledge related to the limitinf factor, from a scientific, technological and practical point of view,
· propose solutions scientifically and technilogically sound,
. communicate ' in writing and orally ' the state of knowledge and solutions.
