How to Succeed and Sustain Your Agricultural-based Business

The facts from your business planning research have indicated that your agri-business idea has merit, and you are ready to pursue your dream. Just how do you go about it, maximizing the probability of success and sustainability? The goal of sustainable agriculture is to meet society’s needs in the present without compromising the ability to meet their needs in the future. Practitioners of sustainable agriculture must integrate three main objectives into their work: a healthy environment, economic profitability, and social and economic equity. Every person involved in the food system - growers, food processors, distributors, retailers, consumers, and waste managers—can play a role in ensuring a sustainable agricultural system. This seminar will give you information that will help you actually start, build, grow and sustain your agri-business for long-term success.
