The Food Marketing & Agribusiness Club is a professional organization created to promote the students in the food and agribusiness industry. FMA works to encourage students entering the food marketing or agribusiness field to gain experience in the industry. Members get to meet new people and gain contacts within the food & agribusiness industry through guest speakers and field trips, develop leadership skills, and become involved in internships.
This is also the social club for the FMAM program. In addition to the educational activities mentioned above, the club has had a bowling night, an evening at Downtown Disney, the end of the year banquet and had a great time selling Subway sandwiches at the annual Pumpkin Festival, among other activities. Not only that, but there is free food at each of the monthly meetings.
In addition to the social aspects, there is also the opportunity to participate in the marketing team. The Food Marketing Team is a hands-on, actual marketing plan preparation that can be extremely useful in obtaining the job you have always wanted. This is a great way for you to earn units, as well as learn team skills, gain industry knowledge, and obtain valuable presentation skills. Every year the team designs a complete food marketing national plan that is presented at the annual SCIFTS Suppliers Night in Pasadena California. Cal Poly Pomona's students have done exceptionally well over the years at marketing competitions.
