Yogyakarta, May 19, 2025 – Faculty of Agriculture Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) received an academic visit from Agribusiness Study Program, Sriwijaya University (UNSRI). The activity on Monday was attended by 18 lecturers and 185 students from the UNSRI agribusiness Study Program. The group was received directly by the Department of Agricultural Social Economics, especially from the Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Undergraduate Study Program (EPA), Master of Agricultural Economics Study Program (MEP), Master of Agribusiness Management Study Program (MMA), and the Agricultural Social Economics Student Family (KMSEP).
In this meeting, each study program and KMSEP organization explained the academic profile, learning structure, curriculum innovation, and various student activities that support the development of graduates’ capacity and character. This activity is in line with the commitment of both institutions to supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 2 (No Hunger), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 17 (Partnerships to Achieve Goals). Through collaboration between institutions and improving the quality of agribusiness education, it is hoped that a young generation of agriculture will be able to make a real contribution to economic development, food security, and the sustainability of natural resources.
In the future, the UGM Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Study Program hopes that activities like this can continue, not only as a means of sharing information and experiences but also as an initial step in building strategic partnerships in the development of education, collaborative research, and community service that are relevant to the dynamics of modern agriculture.
