| Unit Description |
This unit addresses the major environmental, resource, and agricultural issues in the Australian economy. It introduces students to the basic economic concepts to analyse these issues, which include food security, sustainability, biodiversity and land degradation. As such, it provides necessary background for both the further study of agricultural and resource economics, agribusiness, and an understanding of public debate concerning agricultural and resource use issues.
