Executive Education

Since its inaugural session in 1961, the Agribusiness Seminar at Harvard Business School (HBS) has provided leaders from across the industry with a unique forum for assessing emerging trends and issues, understanding best management practices, and exploring promising new business strategies. In January 2013, top executives will convene at HBS once again to set the stage for growth in a complex landscape, improve the way they manage risk, identify today’s top opportunities, and prepare for the future.
