The Center for Agribusiness (CAB) seeks to enhance the economic and environmental sustainability of agricultural operations in Southwest Florida by providing well-trained professionals who are knowledgeable about agriculture and its role in the Southwest Florida economy.
Agribusiness classes and public training programs developed through the CAB will complement the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines taught at FGCU. The CAB will rely on outstanding faculty, staff and a strong committee of community advisors to prepare students for gainful employment and successful lives as responsible, productive and engaged citizens. The CAB will follow FGCU’s vision and mission to provide innovative, student-centered teaching and learning; promote and practice environmental sustainability; embrace diversity; nurture community partnerships; value public service; encourage civic responsibility; and cultivate habits of lifelong learning and the discovery of new knowledge.
