Cultura de projeto e responsabilidade social

The term “Agronomist” foi cunhado no século XVIII para se referir a um especialista em ciências agrícolas.
Nos tempos antigos, entre os sumérios, o papel de Agrônomo era considerado sagrado e de atribuição sacerdotal exclusiva. Os agrônomos presidiram o censo e empilhamento das áreas agrícolas, fundações de novas colônias, e todas as operações de campanha.
A atividade do agrônomo era considerada sagrada por intervir em aspectos fatais para a sociedade ligada à alimentação e, portanto, à sobrevivência da população humana.. O Agrônomo assumiu a função de sacerdote e magistrado, atribuindo as terras, definindo os limites, criando sistemas de irrigação, prescrever tempos e modos de cultivo e colheita. Ainda hoje, o agrônomo concentra sua atividade em aspectos delicados, potencialmente perigoso para o equilíbrio ambiental, intervém nos ciclos naturais, às vezes alterando-os voluntariamente para as necessidades de produção e alimentação, entering new extremely risky frontiers such as bioengineering.

Design and implementation of training courses and certification of skills on sustainability

In a global vision of the profession that deals with sustainability, the professional figure needs to define professional standards that are internationally recognizable. This challenge aims to standardize training and access to the profession in the various countries in order to make an automatic global recognition system possible over time.

The strong influence of professional activity on aspects of human health, safety and well-being is recognized globally, so much so that it can be defined as a profession of social utility committed to the achievement of a public interest.

The certification of professional skills attests that a specific person evaluated, according to pre-established rules, possesses the necessary and sufficient requirements to operate with competence and professionalism in a specific sector of activity.

The tool that will be put in place will be international guidelines to provide unequivocal criteria and homogeneous schemes to define a certification system for professional skills on sustainable agronomy.

The certification of professionalism and the maintenance of skills are global requirements are the prerequisite for the free circulation of professionals and above all the dissemination of good professional practices in terms of sustainability.
