The food industry is vital to Australia in terms of profitability, exports and jobs growth, with lots of employment opportunities. The Food Systems program covers the value chain management of the food industry, from farm to fork. The program fills a critical niche in our increasingly complex food provision systems, by addressing food supply chains, production processes and business elements. Graduates will develop a grounding in food production from harvest, food possessing technologies through to the consumer. Training will be underpinned by developing an appreciation for the management and control of a safe food supply. There will be opportunities for sub-majors in management or marketing. The program is set within a strong environmental framework of learning, enabling the graduates to be equipped to deal with new challenges in a changing world. The course has strong links with the food industry and unique well equipped facilities, including a food processing pilot plant, which gives hands-on experience with equipment similar to that found in industry.
