Our organization contributed to the conversation in various ways. We highlighted the importance of developing critical thinking and innovative problem-solving skills in agribusiness and agrotechnology graduates. These skills are crucial for navigating a rapidly changing environment, adapting to new technologies, and re-evaluating farming practices for sustainability.

We proposed a dedicated sustainability module within the curriculum. This would provide in-depth learning about nature, ecosystem services, human history, agriculture’s impact, current food system challenges, past solutions, and necessary changes for a sustainable future. Sustainability is currently treated as a vague descriptor added to business jargon. We need a clear, detailed definition to help future graduates to apply it in the real world.
