COURSE DESCRIPTION
There is a critical need to produce food and fibre more efficiently and in a more sustainable manner. There are currently rapid changes in the agricultural sector, largely due to developments in agricultural technology (digital agriculture). This extended major provides knowledge in both the traditional agricultural science areas as well as the emerging data-intensive agricultural technologies.
This extended major provides knowledge in both the traditional agricultural science areas as well as the emerging data intensive agricultural technologies. The combination of Agricultural Science with Agricultural Technology will give students the ability to integrate new technologies into agricultural systems for improved decision making and farming efficiency/profitability.
Course Structure
Our undergraduate degrees offer you a broad range of options allowing you to combine subjects in a way that matches your career goals and personal interests.
