Course description

AGRC4054 will be offered in 2021 with a change to the study tour location from Java, Indonesia to Northern Australia to address COVID19 travel restrictions and student safety. It is expected the study tour will return to Indonesia in 2022.

For 2021, Tropical Agriculture (AGRC4054) will introduce students to tropical agricultural systems in Australia. The course involves up to 3 week study tour up the Queensland coast and then to Northern Territory to become familiar with the diverse array of farming systems and how they relate to domestic food supply and Northern Australia¿s export markets ¿ particularly to Indonesia. The objective is to familiarize students with a large variety of agricultural environments, production systems and resources in tropical Australia.
