Working scientific infrastructure — at the scale the field requires.
A 180-hectare research farm. Four divisions of the School of Agriculture with seventeen named research laboratories. Three Chemistry School laboratories. Pilot field installations, livestock buildings, and greenhouses. All accessible from semester one.
+ livestock
Thirty-three research laboratories — organised across six divisions.
Agricultural Economics.
The institutional and market dimensions of food systems — agricultural economics, applied research, rural sociology, marketing of agricultural products, agricultural cooperatives, farm management, and the legal frameworks that shape agriculture.
