Agribusiness Seminar - January 2026

Climate extremes, economic shifts, geopolitical conflict, environmental constraints, new technologies, regulatory changes, consumer expectations—these and many other forces are creating pressures, uncertainties, and opportunities across global and local food systems. The current environment presents many challenges but also new possibilities for firms that can embrace innovation, develop new strategies, deliver value, and build resilience.

For more than 60 years, business leaders from around the world have gathered for the Agribusiness Seminar at Harvard Business School (HBS) to deepen their understanding of the food and agriculture landscape, exchange perspectives, strengthen their networks, and cultivate ideas to shape this vital industry. In our upcoming seminar, you will explore current and future industry dynamics through a dozen new agribusiness case studies, developing insights that can help you build competitive advantage and drive growth in your own firm and career.

Through faculty-led classroom discussions, case studies, small-group work, and insights from guest speakers, you will explore agribusiness trends and best practices covering an array of organizational, strategic, competitive, economic, and societal issues.
