Natural Resource Use Secondary School Programme

In English we don't have the same distinctions that Swedish schools have. For instance, gymnasium itself is actually "upper" secondary school or perhaps "senior high".

In terms of "naturbruk", I would not try to reinvent the wheel. Other organisations have said:

http://www.inv.se/svefa/skolor/engskol/uppersch.html
Upper secondary school (gymnasium):
The Natural Resource Use Programme (Naturbruk) for those wishing to work with things like farming, forestry, gardening and animals

Note if this were a university division, it would be the "Faculty of Natural Resources"
Peer comment(s):

neutral Mario Marcolin : still, the focus in on agriculture

Naturbruk basically implies farming, garden farming and forestry. At least to my mind Natural Resources Use is a wider concept including mining, energy production etc.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Paula Ibbotson : naturbruk is more Natural Resources (eg. can also include environmental issues, etc.)

yes but agricultural education also includes environmental issues

agricultural college

"Vad kan jag göra på naturbruksgymnasiet? Gillar du Djur, Miljö, Natur, Teknik? Då finns vi för dig!Du varvar teori och praktik. Du lär dig t.ex. att köra traktor! Du kan förbereda dig för naturvetenskapliga högskolestudier, om du vill. Skolan är liten och du blir sedd som människa.
English version of this website " This site provides you with a brief introduction to Swedish agriculture and a gateway to agricultural colleges in Sweden."
