Publication: Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture
Iowa farmers are producing more organic and specialty meats, fruit and vegetables, but it takes more than a green thumb to grow these enterprises into businesses that can satisfy an expanding consumer appetite for fresh, locally grown food. To help these emerging businesses, the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture has partnered with the Iowa State University College of Business and the ISU Graduate Program in Sustainable Agriculture to offer a master’s degree in business administration [MBA] with a minor in sustainable agriculture, the only graduate-level program of its kind in the country. The program is designed to develop expertise in sustainable agriculture systems while building a strong knowledge of the functional areas of business.
