ATAR
The Agribusiness ATAR course enables students to develop knowledge and skills related to the business decisions needed to run enterprises from production to marketing, adding value at all stages of the production process. Students learn about what agribusinesses are and their role in the Australian economy. Students explore factors internal to businesses involved in food and fibre production systems that impact on the decisions that need to be made for the successful operation of a business. Students learn about the structure of management in an agribusiness, manager functions and analysis of external factors influencing an agribusiness. Students will also learn about planning for sustainability to maintain the productivity of an agribusiness, including economic, environmental and social aspects.
