The
ARM option provides the opportunity for students to combine
training in agribusiness economics with further knowledge
about the technical aspects of agriculture and natural resources.
This is achieved by developing a concentration of courses
from the other units in the College
of Agriculture, or by obtaining a minor in either Animal
Science, Food and Nutrition or
Plant and Soil Science.
This
option may appeal to students with an interest in conservation,
natural resource management, production agriculture and
the industries closely linked to production agriculture.
