Agriculture has been the bastion of feeding humans since the earliest civilizations, and as
long humans need food, Agriculture shall remain the vital occupation of mankind. George
Washington rightly said, “Agriculture is the Most Healthful, Most Useful and Most Noble
Employment of Man”.
Agriculture has come a long way since the late 1800’s as mechanisation became more
mainstream and science helped us to grow better crops, Over the past 40 years we have
seen the advent of hydroponic farming systems, computer controlled irrigation and
harvesting, improved storage and logistics to maintain the freshness of our food and high
technology in all aspects of the growing cycle.
Innovations are crucial for developing resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly
solutions to feed the world while minimizing ecological impact. In essence, the study of
agriculture is a pathway to creating a sustainable and harmonious coexistence between
humanity and the planet we call home.
With the world population forecast to reach 10 billion people by 2050 and climate change
forecast to disrupt many agricultural economies, we have to grow a lot more food
sustainably and improve both the yield and quality of our food production sectors simply
to maintain food security for our people.
Studying agriculture provides an opportunity to understand the science, technology, and
management practices that contribute to food production and security. It is a gateway to
discovering innovative solutions for feeding a growing population while managing the
delicate balance between human needs and environmental stewardship.
With rapid advances in technology, the agriculture sector has had a resurgence in modern
times, which has created many new opportunities globally for future Agrifood managers
and technicians especially.
Studying agriculture will open a wide range of opportunities ranging from science-based
occupations to farm management and technical specialisations, especially in such sectors
as horticulture.
Demand for new generation farm managers is strong especially in the larger corporate
Agribusiness sector. So if you want to contribute to an industry that will remain an
essential sector in future decades than a degree in Agriculture might be the right choice
for you.
We offer a comprehensive exploration of agricultural sciences, from sustainable farming
practices to cutting-edge technologies that are revolutionising the industry.
When it comes to study there are no places on the planet as diverse and culturally rich as
Australia, Canada & the USA. These nations have already embraced large scale high
technology production systems that embrace digital technologies and advanced growing
environments. By choosing to study agriculture, you will have exposure to these
technologies and embark on a journey that goes beyond the classroom.
