Agriculture is an exciting, inter disciplinary area that is essential to feeding the growing world population. It involves the application of science and business skills to the management of over half of Australia’s land for the production of food, feed, fibre and other goods by the systematic growing/harvesting/distribution of plants, animals and other life forms. It contributes to fundamental aspects of urban development and rural prosperity: sustainable resource usage, food security, social stability, and environmental protection for this and future generations. With its applied focus, the Western Sydney University Agriculture program prepares graduates for an extensive range of employment opportunities, with specialised knowledge and understanding of the balance between agriculture, landscape ecology, and business activities.
