Altered environments require new knowledgeAltered environments require new knowledge
» Climate change– greenhouse gases, fossil fuels, land use, water
» Global sustainability– public health, protection against infections
» Agrarian industry on an international market– population growth and a rising standard of living, increased demand forfood and changing consumption patterns
– new eco-cyclical, climate-neutral products, more specialized raw-material and food production
» Urbanization– nature and contact with animals for human well-being – land as a source of recreation, rehabilitation and adventure tourism– rural development
