e than justified their leading roles in specific scientific fields,’’ he recollects. With
knowledge obtained in this interdisciplinary programme, our students are capable of
understanding processes within complex biological systems and are skilled for mathe-
matical modelling, algorithm development and use of ICT in problem-solving.
When he finished his studies at UP FAMNIT, Miha Šaberl felt quite ready to go in-
ternational. In 2015 he gained his MSc in Biology-Biotechnology at University of Co-
penhagen, Denmark, and looks forward to his future, where he wishes to become a
board member of an international biotechnological or pharmaceutical company or
start his own high-tech company.
Conservation and protection of the environment, sustainable use and management
of natural resources and production and processing of quality food are undoubted-
ly some of the most vitally important global challenges of today’s and future world.
They are all addressed in our undergraduate programme Mediterranean Agricul
ture, which focuses on specific needs of agricultural production in Mediterranean
agro-ecological conditions and tries to link stable economy with nature. At the end
of the day, agriculture is what brings food on our plates, or, as Volenec et al. stated in
Science Magazine (335: 917) in 2012: »Agriculture isn’t dead. In fact, no other industry
feeds the world’s population, which could hit 9 billion by 2050. The need for graduates in
agriculture, horticulture, and animal science programmes will be critical to finding ways
of safely doubling food production in order to meet the demand of a growing population.«
Department’s activities are highly involved in local environment, and maintain regu-
lar contact with end-users of our knowledge, which provide us with constructive feed-
back and allows for a quick response to further needs of various industry branches, as
well as for a further development and improvement of applied research methods.
