Sound economic thinking is crucial for farmers because they depend on good economic decision making to survive. Governments depend on economic information to make good policy decisions on behalf of the community. This course will help you to contribute to better decision making by farmers, or by agencies servicing agriculture, and it will help you to understand why farmers respond to policies and economic opportunities in the ways they do.

Learnt a lot through this course. I appreciate the help from the experts from Australia and hopefully I can apply this in Malaysia.
After completing studies in Agriculture 20+ years ago, I found this course to be a great refresher and really opened my eyes to the economics of resource management.
With the aid of this course i have learned numerous vital aspects related to the agri-business management like inter relationship between cost supply and demand.
An excellent course and online experience. Coming from an industrial environmental management background, this has given me insight and interest
