Complexity of Agriculture and the Knowledge of the Agronomist

The profession of the agronomist, in the hundred years of its history, is marked by the evolution of the notion of agriculture. Thus, initially holder of skills inherent to the land relevance of production structures, he finds himself later exercising more articulated tasks congenial to the profound transformation of production activities, once the biological cycle is removed from soil conditioning and the valorisation of the land becomes a qualifying parameter of a multifunctional vocation capable of involving management formulas integrated with the environment. A profession that requires a specialised cultural background but which rejects the fragmentation of knowledge, in a renewed commitment to compose from his point of view, how the agronomist can continue to be an interpreter of the productive leap characterising the sustainable dimension of development, improving the quality of life in the countryside with solutions placed at the service of common goods.
