In this area of study you will examine sustainable land management, including property management, with a focus on the prevention and mitigation of environmental degradation and the impacts of climate change. You will investigate appropriate and sustainable strategies, adaptations and modifications, evaluating associated safety and risk factors. Comparisons are made between natural and managed ecosystems, with inquiry into the significance of biodiversity for sustainable food and fibre production. You will research and apply techniques for testing and monitoring of environmental health in agricultural and/or horticultural contexts.
