| Unit Description |
This unit provides students with an understanding of the relevant industry systems within which the Australian grains industry operates. Topics include Quality Assurance (QA) systems within the grains industry, occupational health and safety principles, human resource management on-farm, socio-economics of grain production, grain processing and products, marketing and finance, risk management, and information systems for grain production. Students will be required to attend the equivalent of a 4-day residential school to cover practical aspects of the unit. GRNS 503 is based on the undergraduate unit GRNS 303 with additional load consisting of extra questions on assignments and examinations and candidates for GRNS 503 will be expected to show a greater level of understanding of the unit material than that required for GRNS 303. |
