The agriculture industry supplies a wide variety of food products and plant-derived renewable energy sources globally. With several subsidiary industries connected to and depending upon the agriculture industry, it continues to be one of the largest industries in the world and one of the most important for human existence. It's also one of the most vulnerable to changes in economic and political climate, market dynamics, and weather adversities. Growth in global demand over recent years has outpaced supply throughout the world, resulting in spiraling food prices. With scarce land and water resources, demands for alternative use of land, rampant urbanization, and climate change concerns, food security is at the top of the agenda for many national governments. However, industry players are adopting unique strategies and moving forward to overcome these challenges. This course is designed to help learners understand key concepts, terminology, issues, and challenges associated with the agriculture industry, and strategies employed to meet some of those challenges. It will identify the main sectors of the agriculture industry and its business drivers, and review the key aspects of the industry business model, its competitive environment, and current trends.

Overview: Unlocking the potential of biotechnology entails turning scientific knowledge into products that can enhance, and even transform, the conditions of life. A relatively new but growing, global industry, biotechnology involves engineering biological molecules and microbes with desirable new properties. This re-engineering of natural organisms can lead to the development of new and better drugs, medical treatments customized for an individual's biological makeup, disease-resistant crops, and new industrial processes. Some of biotechnology's promises have been delivered, but many have not. False starts are common in an industry where the development of new products is uncertain, time consuming, and expensive. Companies in the industry face other obstacles as well – pricing pressures and a decline in funding, for example. To address such challenges, industry players can adopt new cost-cutting and efficiency measures or partner with other biotechnology or pharmaceutical firms. They also need to deal with increased regulation and strong moral opposition to their activities – particularly in the field of genetic engineering. In response, biotechnology companies seek to educate the wider community about their activities and justify the benefits and safety of those activities to the public, the government, and investors. Objectives: Identify key areas of the biotechnology industry, including its main sectors, what drives it Recognize current trends of the biotechnology industry Identify top competitors in the biotechnology industry Course Content: In this course, you'll find out more about these and other strategies, as well as about key areas of the biotechnology industry, including its main sectors, what drives it, current trends, and top competitors.
