Agribusiness Training

Welcome to Agribusiness Training, located in the heart of Christchurch at Craft Place, 10. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we aim to provide farmers and aspiring agribusiness professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in the industry.

Contrary to popular belief, owning a piece of land or being a farmer does not have to mean endless toiling and ploughing. At Agribusiness Training, we believe in the power of innovation and creativity when it comes to earning income from your farm.

One unique way to generate extra income is by turning your farm into a mini school. Many schools and institutions are seeking information and hands-on experiences from farmers. By charging a fee and taking people on educational tours around your farm, you can showcase your equipment, facilities, and unique crops, attracting those who are eager to learn.

In a world where urbanization is erasing nature, turning your farm into a campsite can be a profitable venture. There is a growing demand for serene environments where campers, students, and nature lovers can unwind. Create dedicated spaces on your farm where they can pitch tents and camp for a fee, providing them with a peaceful retreat.

If you have extra rooms on your farm, why not transform them into a charming bed and breakfast hotel? Decorate the rooms and offer a menu that incorporates farm-fresh food, providing guests with a unique farm-to-table experience. This not only generates income but also showcases the bounty of your farm.

The picturesque scenery of a farm makes it an ideal venue for weddings. Couples are often searching for a unique and memorable location to tie the knot, and your farm can offer just that. Ensure your farm is well-maintained and add aesthetic touches such as flowers and scented herbs to create a magical setting for their special day.

For those with dams or water bodies on their farm, fishing can be a lucrative activity. Charge visitors a fee to responsibly fish in your waters, ensuring the preservation of the fish population. Keeping your fishing grounds stocked and considering the species you want to maintain will attract fishing enthusiasts and provide them with an enjoyable experience.

Don't overlook the potential value of by-products from your farm. Items such as feathers, manure, and animal hide can be sold to individuals who have a use for them. Utilize social media platforms to expand your market and inform people in your community about the availability of these by-products for sale.

If you need a break from the farm, leasing your land to other farmers can be a viable option. As long as the leaseholders are engaged in legal activities, you can earn income while taking time off. Conduct thorough background checks on potential lessees to ensure a secure arrangement.

Lastly, imagine the impact you can make by sharing your farming experiences on social media or the internet. By creating engaging content, such as articles or videos, you can attract a wide audience and potentially monetize your content.

At Agribusiness Training, we believe in exploring all avenues to maximize the potential of your farm. Our courses and training programs equip you with the knowledge and skills to embrace these inventive methods and thrive in the ever-evolving world of agribusiness. Join us today and unlock the full potential of your farm.
