Agribusiness

Agribusiness is of local and global importance, encompassing a wide range of activities that contribute to our supply of food and natural fibres.  Agribusiness comes into play at every stage in the food chain, from primary production, to the packaging of your favorite snack food.  It is also a dynamic business that must respond to sweeping advances in technology, to major changes in trade and policy, and to an ever-changing, consumer- driven marketplace.

The Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness degree program is made up of a combination of agricultural economics and business courses. Graduates will understand the structure and organization of the agri-food sector and will possess business skills with particular application to the value chain extending from farm inputs through on-farm businesses, to processing, transportation, credit and marketing. The B.Sc.(Agbus.) degree is comprised of a greater number of agriculture and science requirements than is typically found in a business program, but with a greater range of electives than found in the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture program.

The Diploma in Agribusiness is a two year program made up of a combination of agricultural economics and business courses.
