| Abstract: | This paper addresses agribusiness industry-institution interfaces, research-education
linkages, and improving agribusiness education with opportunities such as
agricultural students’ internships with agribusiness companies, conducting
applied research, and finding opportunities for agribusiness educational seminars
conducted by universities. The rationale for agribusiness internships is discussed,
and agribusiness internship structure and planning is outlined. The potential
benefits of a Departmental Advisory Board are listed, along with suggestions for
implementing such a group. Applied agribusiness research opportunities including
case studies and extension, outreach, or trade publications are highlighted, and
examples of this type of work are discussed. Finally, continuing education
opportunities for agribusiness conferences or symposiums hosted and organized
by a university Department of Agribusiness are delineated. |
