Students majoring in food and agricultural business are prepared for a wide variety of career opportunities. The focus of their studies is on the functioning of the agri-food sector in the global economic system and the economic principles for decision making by business managers, consumers, policymakers, and others within that sector. Modern agricultural production operates in highly interconnected world markets to produce the food, feed, fiber, and fuel necessary for building and maintaining quality of life in the developed and developing world. The concentration in Sustainable Supply Chain Management gives students a specialized focus on the relationship between agricultural production, global markets, and the supply chains that interconnect them. An emphasis on sustainability provides students with relevant experience dealing with the most pressing issues facing society and the world. This concentration is appropriate for students seeking work in both the public sector and private industry.
