Rural Sciences

Providing food and fibre for the planet's growing population is vital, and demands graduates who are capable of understanding and integrating whole agricultural systems.

Our research and teaching of Rural Science is focused on many aspects of agriculture, agronomy, and management of the rural environment, with established strengths in agricultural, soil and plant sciences.

A three hour drive from Armidale allows you to see 90% of the food types produced in Australia.

Study Areas

Many of those in the environmental sciences will also improve your capacity to understand, manage and improve agricultural systems.
