Securing the Digital Harvest: Cybersecurity as a Core Agribusiness Skill
No full textThe digitization of agriculture, through IoT-enabled equipment, cloud platforms, and precision technologies, has improved efficiency and profitability while also introducing significant cybersecurity risks. These vulnerabilities can disrupt supply chains, compromise sensitive data, and undermine financial stability. Yet agribusiness degree programs often overlook cybersecurity education. This paper proposes integrating cybersecurity content on threat awareness, incident response, and data protection into agribusiness curricula. Embedding these elements equips graduates to manage both digital and financial risks, enhancing resilience and competitiveness. Such curricular innovation aligns technical and managerial training, preparing future agribusiness professionals to lead securely and sustainably in an increasingly connected industry

This analysis involves giving different levels of strength to each factor, which will create the overall level of likelihood

These findings are robust in additional tests using Propensity Scored Matching (PSM) and Entropy Balanced samples. Additionally, we find evidence that CSO appointment has a positive impact on total ESG ratings in the initial year of appointment
