Agriculture, livestock and fishing
Agriculture is the set of knowledge and activities aimed at the exploitation of the natural environment, through the cultivation of certain plants. Livestock is the human activity consisting of the domestication and exploitation of animals for food, derived products (wool, leather, etc.), or services (draft animals, wild animals, for recreational purposes, animals for laboratories, etc.). Fishing is the set of techniques and activities to catch fish and other aquatic species, as well as the industry based on the processing and marketing of these products, caught in the seas, rivers and lakes.
These are the services that our research groups can develop. For customized information on the services, please contact us.
