Agricultural Science Major (BSc Science)
Food production and security are increasingly important issues for developed and emerging economies, and Australia has the potential to be a leader in providing solutions for sustainable, economical and ethical food production.
Agriculture is the science and practice of food and fibre production, and the discipline of agricultural science is multidisciplinary – building from the basics of biology, chemistry and statistics to areas of agricultural systems that include soil science, crop science, animal science and molecular genetics.
In this course, you'll gain an industry-ready understanding of the science and technology required for the production of plants and animals for food and fibre.
You’ll study topics ranging from overarching issues such as food security, sustainability and climate change, to the specifics of crop and animal production and soil health.
