Agricultural Science provides the research, technology and information for the sustainable, profitable and ethical development of the agricultural industry.
Studies in agriculture include soil science, genetics, plant breeding, animal breeding, cropping and pasture systems, crop production, soil-plant interactions, plant and human nutrition, integrated pest management, livestock production, animal reproduction, scientific modelling, agricultural economics and agribusiness, data management and science communication (peer-to-peer) and other topics.
UWA is well equipped for teaching and research in agricultural science, with a field station at Shenton Park and the University research farm near Pingelly.
