Focus on Agriculture
Get hands on with your future
Agriculture isn’t just farming- It is focussed on “the entire food chain, managing the environment and minimising the impact of human endeavours on natural resources”.
About 50% of all jobs in the agriculture industry are in capital cities. These jobs include environmental management, research, development, agribusiness and education. Most people in agriculture work full time.
There is also an ongoing demand for agricultural science graduates with economics and management training.
