Agriculture, Horticulture and Viticulture

Growing and producing fresh, healthy food is one of the most essential staple industries across the globe. It’s also a major cornerstone of New Zealand’s economy. 

The ways that we produce food have evolved. Our agribusinesses need to adapt to growing environmental and sustainability challenges. Technology is also transforming how we plant, grow, monitor and manufacture fresh foodstuffs.  

At Lincoln, we’re constantly expanding our world-class academic instruction, globally-relevant research and opportunities for practical, hands-on experience. Whichever programme you choose, when you graduate, you’ll have the practical knowledge and applicable skills to play your part in growing a healthier tomorrow.

 

Agriculture is the bedrock of the New Zealand economy, so employers are constantly on the hunt for university graduates.

Take advantage of the broad range of career opportunities in the crucial, fast-growing horticultural sector.
