This key program equips graduates with specialised knowledge and understanding of agronomy, animal science and soil science underpinned by a sound background in biology, chemistry and biometry. Graduates will understand how agriculture impacts on the structure and function of production ecosystems in the context of nutrient, water and energy flows, carbon sequestration and use of introduced and genetically modified organisms. There is an emphasis on developing field and laboratory skills related to the major study areas that will prepare students for technical, production, research or advisory careers.
