      Summer courses Programs in Agribusiness

      One might expect a great variety of options for summer courses. These classes tend to involve a relatively rigorous schedule over a period of several weeks up to three months.

      What is a summer course in agribusiness? The introductory forms of these studies generally examine the primary concerns of agribusiness, such as the global supply chain, food economics, biochemicals and resource ecology. There are also some advanced professional seminars available, focusing on strategic concepts such as brand development, innovation, international relations and risk mitigation. Lower-level courses tend to be offered in a traditional classroom format, possibly with field study work. Advanced classes are often presented alongside contemporary case studies and may include lectures from industry leaders.

      An understanding of the way agriculture is organized and regulated can help students make ethical decisions regarding food and business. The networking opportunities of seminar courses can provide value to professionals, while academic study schedules can reinforce students' organization skills.

      Agribusiness leaders are present in both the public and private sectors of the economy. An example of a government job in this field might be a manager at a food regulatory service. These individuals would work with lawmakers and administrators to develop policies governing the practice of agriculture and food production. Private companies in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, bioenergy, packaged food, farm supply and agricultural finance might also require these skills of employees. For example, a biofuel company might require a supply chain manager to understand the specifics of agricultural import and export in a larger business context.
