Department of Farm Management

The main objective of the Department of Farm Management is to prepare our students learning in different specializations of agricultural study fields for leading and managing agricultural enterprises. The focus of our subjects is put on the four functions of management: planning, organizing, leading and control. By the introduction of the managerial functions, students will be able to prepare themselves for the leader’s role in different sized agricultural enterprises, and will be able to conduct successfully different planning activities. In in general, they will be able to work and build their careers in the companies of the agricultural and food processing sector.

The mission of the department is to establish a complex way of knowledge transfer and to build awareness of the students, which contributes to the development of a sustainable agricultural sector, sustainable economy and a sustainable rural society.

The research activities of the department are also important part of our work. Our research activities are related to the work of the research groups entitled ‘Management of Agricultural Enterprises’ and ‘Development and Management of SMEs’, which research results and experiences are directly incorporated into our teaching materials and education methods. Our main research topics focus on the economic and management questions of precision farming, the formulation of sustainable business models and the quality and food safety assurance of agricultural products ‘from farm to fork’ particularly in the school catering sector and direct sales.
