Posgrados Agronegocios FAUBA

What Posgrados Agronegocios FAUBA does

Posgrados Agronegocios FAUBA is the postgraduate program in Agribusiness and Food (Programa de Agronegocios y Alimentos, PAA) housed at the Faculty of Agronomy of the Universidad de Buenos Aires (FAUBA). Founded in 1999, it operates as a public-academic rather than commercial entity, offering four primary postgraduate degrees: a Master's in Agronegocios (Res. CS 7522), a Specialization in Agronegocios and Foods (Res. CS 3557), a Postgraduate Course in High Management of Agronegocios and Foods (Res. CD 1335), and a Postgraduate Course in High Management of Agri-food Foreign Trade (Res. CD 1518). The Master's carries a thesis and oral defense requirement; the Specialization requires an integrative paper. The portfolio is complemented by two executive courses (Agronegocios 4.0 on digital transformation; Stakeholders on stakeholder management), a research database library, and a consulting service line. Teaching is built around a case-study methodology that imports real situations from the agri-food system into the classroom, and is delivered via a hybrid model using the program's Digital Classroom (Aula Digital) in addition to on-campus sessions at Av. San Martín 4453, Buenos Aires.

The program serves professionals seeking advanced academic credentials for leadership, research, and management roles in companies, NGOs, government, and academia within the Argentine and Latin American agri-food sector. Its customer segments are persona-based and horizontal: professionals pursuing a Master's, professionals seeking a lighter Specialization, executives and business owners pursuing the postgraduate-level courses, and foreign-trade professionals in agri-food. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct enrollment cycles, with inquiries routed via email ([email protected]), phone, and WhatsApp, supported by a multi-channel presence on LinkedIn, Instagram, X, and YouTube. Revenue is generated from tuition fees for the four degree programs and ancillary executive courses, with no published pricing; the program does not disclose financials. The program claims to be the first Master's in Agronegocios in Latin America and reports 9,000 alumni over 25 years. Director is Mg. Sebastián Senesi, with Fernando Mogni as Coordinador General and Mariano Villani as head of Institutional Relations and Communication.
