Graduate Story Dafa

Hi, I am Dafa Witoelar and I graduated from the International Food & Agribusiness programme in 2023. I would like to tell you how this study programme fuelled my passion for sustainable agriculture.

Why choose International Food & Agribusiness?

I chose the International Food & Agribusiness programme as it aligned perfectly with my passion for sustainable agriculture, especially coming from Indonesia. The programme's comprehensive approach, blending practical insights and theoretical knowledge, significantly broadened my horizons. It equipped me with a deeper understanding of global food systems and sustainability, shaping my approach to agriculture in a meaningful way.

Career after IFA

After completing my studies, I took on the role of co-owner at Linotani, a company specialising in fresh vegetables and sustainable farming practices. Concurrently, I worked as a Sustainability Consultant at Ernst & Young, leveraging my expertise to help businesses embrace sustainable strategies. Currently, I am pursuing a CFA certification in ESG Investing to deepen my understanding of responsible investment, blending my passion for agriculture, sustainability, and finance. CFA is an institute through which certification for the Environmental, Social and Governance (=ESG) approach can be certified.

I highly recommend the International Food & Agribusiness programme for its comprehensive and forward-thinking approach.

Tips for other students

I highly recommend the International Food & Agribusiness programme for its comprehensive and forward-thinking approach. The programme not only delves deeply into agricultural sustainability but also extends its perspective to broader sustainability aspects, reflecting the interconnected nature of today's global challenges. The International Food & Agribusiness programme taught me about sustainability in a way that is applicable across many different industries in my current job as a sustainability consultant.
