The main objective of this program is to develop the professional competencies needed to operate and manage a modern agricultural enterprise. This is achieved through the development of skills related to animal and plant productions, soil and water conservation, nutrient management, farm machinery, equipment and building maintenance and efficiency, new technologies like precision farming and, most importantly, financial management, risk management and decision-making skills. We also aim to develop the student’s entrepreneurial skills, personal growth and the ability to adapt to a changing world.

The program is open to anyone interested in agriculture, or in a career in the agri-food sector.Furthermore, graduates of our program can transfer into undergraduate degree programs in agriculture at McGill University.
