About this Unit
This unit involves students preparing for and undertaking an industry service
learning project with an agricultural production, animal management or
other approved environmental management organisation. During the period
of fieldwork each student will undertake a university directed and assessed
project to observe and collect data on the Agricultural or Animal System.
Students will be guided to implement a multidisciplinary approach to data
gathering including collecting information on production activities and the
ecological, economic and social dimensions within and external to the
Agricultural or Animal System. Data collected within this unit is used in
Analysis of an Agricultural or Animal System for assessing the performance
and sustainability of the system.
