The University's commitment to agribusiness teaching and research is well-known. It’s Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit, for example, has a long and strong track record of contributing to knowledge and understanding in the agribusiness field.

Lincoln University believes that the New Zealand economy will continue to rely in the foreseeable future on its biological production systems. A successful, buoyant bio-economy will be the key to any future social and economic developments, nationally or internationally, and Lincoln University is committed to being part of those developments.
