Master’s in Plant Production capacitates professionals for the agribusiness market
With three important lines of research, “Culture management in planting systems” (which studies phytotechnic aspects of major cultures trying to optimize agricultural production); “Soil management” (designed for the study of the physical, chemical and conservation areas of soil for a rational use of agriculture areas); and “Plant protection” (which involves Entomology, Phytopathology, and Weed Science, approaching phytosanitary aspects to improve agriculture practices), the Master’s in Plant Production was a pioneer in the Goiás countryside and, since its implementation, in 2004, has contributed to the formation of professionals with a competitive differential in the agribusiness scenario.
Alessandro Guerra da Silva, that for 8 years was the program’s coordinator, has continued in the program, now as a professor. In the classroom, he welcomes a wide array of committed professionals and that seek strategic skills to use in the companies they work for. “When a professional comes to the Master’s, they have an opportunity to take, to their work life, a deeper knowledge and, apart from that, the research developed are directly associated to fulfilling field demands”, explains the professor.
A Doctor in Phytotechnics (Plant Production) from the federal University of Viçosa and with a wide experience in Culture Management, Guerra comments on the partnerships with businesses, Brazilian institutions and even foreign institutions, from countries such as Argentina and the United States. According to Alessandro Guerra, this is a relationship that broadens research development, that becomes a reward to a professor’s career. “Our biggest satisfaction is to present something that awakens the attention from Master’s students, that motivates their interest in continuing their discussions and that also meet the needs of professionals that follow market demands,” he adds.
A Doctor in Agronomy from the Federal University of Goiás, with experience in Plant Improvement, Antônio Joaquim Braga Pereira Braz is a professor in the Master’s since its first class and has closely followed the Program’s implementation, which has allowed for the entrance of professionals in search for an adequate resumé for the agricultural needs. “Some time ago, national and multinational companies did not worry in hiring professionals with a Master’s degree, but nowadays, this scenario has changed and the tendency is that they opt for people with this differential. UniRV’s Master’s in Plant Production was the first Master’s in Agricultural Sciences from the countryside of Goiás and its creation was very impactful to the region. And it still is, sue to the development of countless researches for agribusiness”, states the professor.
For the Rector, professor Alberto Barella Netto, the implementation of the Master’s at UniRV encompasses the entire cycle of Agribusiness: “The course offers necessary knowledge and skills so that capacitated professionals can manage productive processes, promote technological innovation, identifying market opportunities and promoting the sector’s sustainable development. Apart from that, the professors are made up of experienced and renowned doctors, many of which are active researchers in themes related to agribusiness. This guarantees that students get a quality education and be up-to-date with trends and innovations in the sector” concludes the Rector.
