A Bachelor of Agricultural Science graduate from Charles Sturt University (CSU) has competed in an international competition that tests the agribusiness skills of students. Mr Will Porter who studied through CSU’s School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences, was part of a team of five Australian university students which competed at the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association (IFAMA) conference in the United States in June. The team was given a case study and had four hours to prepare and present a business plan to a panel of judges. The Australian team came a close second in the heat but Mr Porter said the real value was attending the conference itself. “It was a wonderful opportunity to meet people involved in the global agribusiness sector, to talk about the challenges and the opportunities for career development.”  Mr Porter graduated from CSU in 2012 and now works as an agronomist for Auscott Limited in Narrabri in northern NSW.
