Agribusiness

Takandris Jordan, Agri-business

Hi, I am Takandris Jordan, and I serve as the Agribusiness Instructor at the Commodore Conyers College and Career Academy.

I have five years of experience teaching middle and high school agriculture in Southwest Georgia and previously worked with USDA–NRCS as a Soil Conservation Technician, where I gained valuable experience in natural resources and sustainable agriculture. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Education and a Master’s degree in Adult and Career Education with a concentration in Career and Technical Education.

At 4C Academy, I oversee our hydroponics greenhouse where students grow lettuce, cucumbers, strawberries, and other crops, in addition to managing our outdoor gardens and fruit trees. I also teach agribusiness, where students explore marketing, finance, and entrepreneurship in agriculture. My goal is to provide students with real-world agricultural experiences that prepare them for success in college, careers, and beyond.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, spending time with loved ones, and running my small business, Urban Design Lab Graphics.


PATHWAY OVERVIEW

The Agri-business Management and Leadership course provides a foundation for students interested in pursuing a degree in agribusiness through post-secondary study or to enter the Agri-business industry upon graduation from high school. The student will demonstrate competence in the application of principles and practices of agribusiness management and leadership. The course will help students build a strong knowledge base of the agribusiness industry as they study agribusiness types, business management, financial analysis, communications, agricultural law, leadership and teamwork, ethics, and agricultural economics. Mastery of these standards through project-based learning and leadership development activities in the FFA and supervised agricultural experience program will help prepare students for post-secondary study or entry into agribusiness.
