Learn about this course

Introduction

Lead the change in food & agriculture. The Food & Agribusiness Track: Leadership in Food & Agriculture empowers professionals to navigate complexity, think strategically, and drive meaningful impact. Designed for forward-thinking leaders, this programme combines sector-specific knowledge with leadership development to help you shape the future of food and agriculture.

Why choose the F&A Track?

The programme
  1. Exclusively for Food & Agri professionals: The F&A Track is tailored specifically for professionals in the agrifood sector, providing deep insights into industry challenges, innovations, and leadership strategies—unlike the broader EMBA, which covers general business management.
  2. Focused time commitment: the track is a quarter of the full EMBA program, offering a structured yet shorter path to advanced knowledge - ideal for professionals who cannot commit to the full two-year program but still want to gain executive-level skills.
  3. Flexibility: The F&A Track can serve as a stepping stone—if you later decide to pursue the full EMBA, the credits may be applied toward it, providing flexibility in your learning journey.
Ownership structure, supplier relations and sustainability in agri-food chains: cooperatives, IOFs and family-owned firms.

Step confidently into leadership roles within the F&A sector.

Connect with industry leaders and like-minded professionals.
