    Agribusiness

    About

    Agribusiness links agricultural producers with consumers, encompassing the entire food production system from paddock to plate. Agribusiness also has a key role in addressing global challenges such as food security and farming systems under fluctuating markets, changing climates and shifting consumer demands.

    During your studies you'll be introduced to the scientific knowledge and business principles of agriculture and production systems – including soil, crop and livestock management technologies.

    Working individually and in teams, you'll learn how to apply problem-solving techniques to management strategies and develop agribusiness risk and farm management skills. At Curtin's field-trial site and glasshouse facilities, you'll engage in research-led activities and self-directed experiments.

    During the course you'll have opportunities to develop links with industry experts and undertake field trips to research centres, agronomic field sites and farms. You'll also complete a work placement with an agriculture research, production or business organisation in Australia or internationally.

    See our handbook for more course information.
