Sustainable agriculture, from a business perspective, seeks to balance ecological responsibility and profitability by employing methods that optimize resource use, minimize environmental impact, and meet consumer demands for ethically produced food.

With an ever increasing need for improved agricultural output to better support population growth through innovative operations and sustainable practices, the Lambton College Business – Sustainable Agriculture, Ontario College Diploma program is designed to provide students with business and management training, combined with a concentration in Canadian agriculture sustainable and environmentally compliant operations and practices.

As the modern agriculture industry evolves, the need for agri-business experts to aid in complex decision making is a key to improving efficiency and optimal production needed in Canada today. In this multi-disciplined program, students relate business knowledge and apply it to agricultural situations. Students develop a foundation of business skills, including communications, accounting, human resources, relationship management and marketing strategies that can be directly applied to the Canadian agricultural industry of today.

With the rapid adoption of agricultural technology, students study the impact as well as various applications from business software to farm machinery and field data collection and analytics. Students also study agricultural management to gain a deeper understanding of the production, logistics and sustainability as it relates to food, feed, fuel and fibre. Livestock physiology and health, pest and soil management and emerging agri-business systems are also studied.
