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.

In this course you'll gain 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. You'll also engage in research-led activities and self-directed experiments, at Curtin's field-trial and glasshouse facilities.

During your studiies you'll complete a one-week work placement with an agriculture research, production or business organisation in Australia or internationally. Plus, you'll have further opportunities to develop links with industry experts and participate in field trips to research centres, agronomic field sites and farms.
