Agricultural Economics, Marketing & Management

Our Agricultural Economics, Marketing & Management program equips ISA graduates with skills necessary to understanding both the biological fundamentals and economic implications of agriculture and bioengineering work. Fully taught in English, this program is based on the expertise that ISA Lille has gained in innovation and business development, finance and export, industrial marketing and trade in agriculture and bioengineering.

Over the last 15 years, ISA has built its expertise on:

• applied courses in finance, marketing and communication
• research activities in market studies on raw materials, agricultural futures and farmers’ strategies (OPCRA, CASDAR )
• an international network of partner universities
• industrial partnerships
