Integration of esg principles into the educational process of an agrarian university

The article considers the use of sustainable development principles (ESG principles) in the educational process of an agricultural university using the example of the discipline "Ecology in an agricultural university". The purpose of the work is to form environmental knowledge when studying the special course "Ecology in an agricultural university" and to identify pedagogical conditions for their formation in students of the Russian State Agrarian University-Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy in the direction of training "Aquatic Bioresources Management" for future professional activities. To improve the quality of professional training of specialists, knowledge in the field of ecology is necessary. Environmental knowledge in the field of aquatic bioresources and aquaculture is aimed at preserving water resources, selecting and using safe technologies for their reproduction. The importance of environmental training during the training period is confirmed by the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard and the professional standard for the formation of competencies in the field of environmental protection. In practice, when studying the discipline "Ecology" in an agricultural university, insufficient attention is paid to the content of the discipline, taking into account the system and technological approaches. The purposeful organization of pedagogical conditions for the acquisition of ecological knowledge, skills, abilities, and the acquisition of experience in using ecological knowledge when studying professional disciplines ensures the quality of training a specialist in the field of aquatic bioresources management. The results of the study showed that the application of the principles of the system-technological approach in the block-modular construction of the discipline "Ecology in an agricultural university" will allow the implementation of professionally oriented environmental training of students in an agricultural university.
