• Australia offers some of the best places to study Agriculture. In the near future, the agricultural Food Production capability of any nation will rank as importantly as Petroleum  and Water as the most important resources that make a nation independent and powerful.
• A university degree in Agricultural science or agriculture offer good employment opportunities in the billion dollar Australian agricultural industry which encompasses industrial farming and private farming in roles which include agriculturalist, agriscientist or agricultural scientist, agronomist or high tech farmer.
• The agricultural industry represents a large  portion of  the Australian GDP employing  millions of  farmers.
• Agriculture is about the production of food and goods through farming & forestry
• Agriculture was instrumental to the rise of human civilization, with the husbandry of domesticated animals and plants (i.e. crops) .
• The study of agriculture is often referred as agricultural science.
• Agriculture employs a wide range of techniques, including ways to optimize land suitable for planting, by digging water channels and other irrigation methods. Crop cultivation on arable land and pastoral herding of livestock are vital to  agriculture.
• Agriculture covers a wide range  from perma culture or organic agriculture to intensive farming as in  industrial agriculture.
• Current agronomy techniques, plant breeding, pesticides and fertilizers and technology have increased yields from cultivation. Selective breeding and modern practices in animal husbandry such as intensive pig farming (and similar practices applied to the chicken) have similarly increased the output of meat.
• Agricultural products are classified into foods, fibers, fuels and raw materials.
• In recent years, plants are grown to provide a source of  bio- fuels, bio-pharmaceuticals, bio plastics and pharmaceuticals.
  Examples of foods are  cereal grains, vegetables, fruits and meat. Fibers include cotton, wool, hemp, silk and flax.
  Raw materials include lumber & bamboo. Other  materials extracted from plant products  include  resins.
  Bio fuels include methane from biomass, ethanol  and bio-diesel.
  Cut flowers, nursery plants, tropical fish and birds for the pet trade are some of the ornamental products.
• If you are interested in Agronomy, it might be a good idea to research  the individual faculty web pages listed below  as Agronomy is closely related to Agricultural science and courses may often be available in the same universities.
• Agronomy is the science and technology of using plants for food, fuel, feed, fiber, and reclamation. Agronomy encompasses work in the areas of plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science. It is the application of a combination of sciences like biology, chemistry, ecology, earth science, and genetics.
• Modern Agronomists are involved  issues such as  producing food, creating healthier food, managing environmental impact of agriculture and energy creation from plants.Agronomists  usually focus  in areas like crop rotation, irrigation and drainage, plant breeding, plant physiology, soil classification, soil fertility, weed control, insect and pest control.
