In this area of study students focus on the dynamic and innovative nature of Australia’s food and fibre production industries. They reflect on the rate of change, the rise of new challenges, and the sector’s ever-increasing engagement with innovation and technology. 

Students inquire into the broad role of innovation and technology in food and fibre production, and consider the impacts of new and emerging tools and applications, as well as innovative research projects. 

Students reflect on past initiatives, contemporary responses to consumer concerns and ways to evaluate the effectiveness of particular innovations in agricultural and horticultural practices.
