Digitalization, new technologies, and the integration of artificial intelligence are redefining how production, management, and decision-making occur in the agricultural and food supply chain. In this context, understanding the technology is no longer enough: the real challenge is knowing how to apply it to generate a real impact on agribusinesses.
La Diploma in Agri Food Tech and Artificial Intelligence This program offers training focused on analyzing technologies applied to agriculture and food, evaluating their impact, rethinking business models, and making strategic decisions based on data, innovation, and ecosystem knowledge. Throughout the program, you will work with real-world case studies and concrete approaches that will allow you to apply what you learn to your professional practice.
It's not just about knowing trends, but about turning the digital transformation of agriculture into real opportunities for professional and organizational development.
“Agriculture is the same for everyone, but each person experiences and manages it in a unique way.”
This diploma program allowed me to discover diversity through learning with professionals from different countries, realities, and production systems. Sharing experiences with people from the other side of the world, with completely different soils, crops, scales, and policies, was transformative. It opens your mind, expands your possibilities, and invites you to look at agriculture from perspectives you had never imagined.
My advice: if you have the opportunity, don't miss it. This diploma program will show you a different, dynamic, and profoundly modern approach to agriculture. The future of agriculture is already here; you just have to understand it, adapt to it, and implement it.
“Each meeting was like digging a shovel into an anthill of ideas.”
A few days ago I had the pleasure of sharing the last meeting of the Diploma in AgriFoodTech of the Universidad AustralEvery Wednesday, throughout the course, it was like sticking a shovel into the anthill of ideas and seeing them all come out energetically.
I want to especially thank all the colleagues who made this training a unique experience with their contributions, and the business representatives who accompanied us with their stories and actions, which were truly inspiring.
Special thanks also to José Gobbée and Carlos Becco, who led this training with great competence and approachability.
“A new step in my professional development.”
I completed the Diploma in AgriFoodTech from the Universidad Australwhere I acquired key tools and knowledge about the trends that will shape the future of agriculture and food.
I want to thank everyone who shared their knowledge and provided us with tools throughout these months; their contribution made this experience much more valuable.
Special thanks to Carlos Becco and José Gobbée for accompanying and leading this training journey.
"An experience that provides knowledge and a new way of thinking."
Grateful to José Gobbée, Carlos Becco and everyone who made this great diploma course possible.
Besides gaining valuable knowledge, I'm taking away a new way of thinking about business models in the agricultural world, technology, and the new trends of future consumers.
This diploma program is aimed at people who currently make or influence decisions within the agri-food ecosystem —in public or private organizations— and face the challenge of incorporating technology without losing sight of the business, production and the reality of the sector.
It is for professionals, producers, entrepreneurs or business owners who live with new tools, data and technological proposals, but need clear criteria to evaluate what is worth adopting, when to do it and with what impact.
It is also a suitable proposal for those who lead areas or teams and seek to build a shared vision on innovation and transformation, aligned with the real challenges of agriculture and food.
Applied and strategic approach: This diploma program is not limited to exploring trends. It is designed to help you develop critical thinking skills: when a technology adds value, how to integrate it, and what real impact it can have on processes, business models, and organizations within the agri-food ecosystem.
Technology at the service of business: Artificial intelligence and new technologies are addressed as tools for solving specific challenges in the sector. The focus is not on the technology itself, but on its practical application, its limitations, and its real contribution to decision-making and value creation.
Teachers with experience in the Agri Food Tech ecosystem: The faculty combines academic training with professional experience in the sector. This allows for diverse perspectives, real-world case studies, and discussions grounded in concrete situations within agriculture, the food industry, and technological innovation.
Decision-oriented design: The program is designed for professionals who need to make better decisions in complex situations. Therefore, it prioritizes analysis, reflection, and practical application over the accumulation of content, allowing participants to transfer what they learn to their daily work from the very beginning of the course.
A proposal aligned with the current challenges of the sector: The diploma program is updated to reflect technological changes and the evolving agri-food ecosystem. It incorporates artificial intelligence as part of a broader transformation and addresses the real challenges facing professionals in the sector today.
You will learn to evaluate technologies applied to agriculture with sound judgment, understanding when they provide real value and when they do not, before investing time, money or resources.
You will develop the ability to read data, information, and technological proposals to turn them into concrete decisions about production, management, and business models.
You will incorporate tools to analyze risks, opportunities and returns in digitalization, innovation and artificial intelligence projects within the agri-food sector.
You will work with real cases to apply what you have learned in your professional activity, company or business venture, avoiding theoretical solutions or those disconnected from practice.
The diploma program is structured in modules and topics that are articulated in a progressive path.: understand the context of the sector, analyze the impact of new technologies, evaluate strategic decisions and apply concrete solutions in the AgriFoodTech ecosystem.
