Surveying in Agriculture focuses on technical land surveying specifically tailored to agricultural farms and fields.

In addition to classical manual methods, the curriculum places increasing emphasis on high-tech solutions. 

1. Fundamentals and Principles   

• Importance of surveying in agriculture (area determination, boundary demarcation, and planning)   

• Principles of plane and geodetic surveying   

• Units of measurement, scales, accuracy, sources of error, and error compensation   

• Field record keeping and documentation   

2. Traditional Surveying Methods and Instruments (mostly used) 

• Linear measurements (chain, measuring tape, steel band)   

• Angle and right-angle measurements (optical square, cross-staff)   

• Levelling (differential levelling, profile levelling, hand level, spirit levels)   

• Theodolite and Total Station   

• Plane Table Surveying (radiation, intersection, compass survey)   

• Area and volume calculations (e.g., earthwork volumes, water reservoirs)   

3. Modern Technologies (high-end solutions)   

• GNSS/GPS (including RTK-GPS for centimetre-level accuracy)   

• Drones (UAV) and photogrammetry   

• LiDAR and 3D scanning   

• Digital Terrain Models (DTM)   

4. Mapping and GIS   

• Map production, scaled drawings, and contour maps   

• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)   

• Soil and yield mapping   

5. Practical Applications in Agriculture   

• Area and boundary surveying (essential for EU subsidy applications and land consolidation procedures)   

• Topography and drainage planning   

• Irrigation systems and water management   

• Site planning for livestock buildings, roads, silos, and other infrastructure   

• Precision Farming and site-specific crop management   

• Soil and water conservation (erosion control and sustainability)
