13 Agribusiness 1
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Coadette Low.
This course capitalises on Mount Albert Grammar School’s role as a Centre of Excellence for Agribusiness where it was a lead school in developing this programme nationally that commenced in 2017. This course develops ideas such as environment protection agri-innovation (future proofing), agri-management and finance (operational and strategic decision making) and agri-marketing (adding value to global products) making use of primary sector examples, visits and visiting speakers. It represents an exciting opportunity for students to understand the future of primary industries in New Zealand and its role in wealth creation for the country.
