Agribusiness (Major)
Agribusiness has historically been a part of Australia’s social fabric and a major driver of economic growth. The Australian agribusiness sector is well positioned to capitalise on the diverse opportunities presented by global population growth and subsequent demand for food and fibre, particularly in Asia. This creates a future in which the agribusiness sector has the enormous potential to once again be a major driver of economic growth and development in Australia and its regions.

The Agribusiness Major provides you with broad-based understanding of the sector and considers the particular factors influencing its relative success. It provides an introduction to animal and agricultural sciences and factors influencing decisions regarding land and water management. It also considers the key role of the agribusiness manager in driving the success of agribusinesses, as influenced by effective financial and risk management, as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of market relationships and supply chains that deliver customer-focussed outcomes.

A feature of this Major is the opportunity to develop new networks with students and industry partners from across Victoria’s regional footprint as you meet and learn from local agribusiness and community leaders. A highlight of the Agribusiness Major is its career focus, providing students with the skills and knowledge demanded by industry to manage the diverse issues impacting agribusinesses and regional economies.

The career focus of the Agribusiness Major is enhanced through the opportunity for you to apply and demonstrate the skills you have acquired in industry as part of its  work integrated learning subject, where you will have the opportunity to complete an industry placement in which you will be part of a workplace team responsible for the development of options to address a ‘real life’ business problem in that organisation.

The Agribusiness Major prepares graduates for careers in the agribusiness sector from the farm business through to the delivery of consumer-focussed food and fibre outcomes. Importantly, the skills gained in the Major, are readily transferable to a broad range of industry applications in fields such as management, marketing and logistics.
