Welcome to the Agribusiness Information Competence Website at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA.

The Agribusiness Department at Cal Poly is the largest undergraduate program of its kind in the United States. Cal Poly’s Agricultural Business degree blends the business management practices necessary in today’s agricultural industry with required courses in production management that include the science and practice of agriculture.

The Kennedy Library is committed to providing the highest quality resources to support the agribusiness department's rigorous curriculum, while securing scholarly materials to support agribusiness faculty research.

The Agribusiness Information Competence Website is a comprehensive tutorial-driven digital guide designed to help students master basic information competencies - as outlined in the CSU Information Competence Project - while gaining hands-on experience using key agribusiness and business databases.

The Agribusiness Information Competence Website is an essential component of the Kennedy Library's Agribusiness Research Portal.

The Agribusiness Information Competence Project has been funded by a CSU Information Competence Grant (2001-2002).
