You'll also learn concepts of asset management­­­­, transfer and succession, how to analyse current environmental management practices for an agribusiness and how to develop a plan to address shortcomings. You will learn how to ensure your business is viable in the long term and how to demonstrate knowledge of the physical resources of the business and long term sustainability of these, whilst incorporating your nutrient budget for Land Management units.
