While the organic industry is an obvious avenue of employment, there is a growing interest in holistic grazing, natural sequence farming, pasture cropping, biodynamics, permaculture, no kill farming, composting, and keyline farming.
The growth in demand for organic foods and fibres has resulted in a range of employment opportunities including advisory services, research, marketing and catchment management services.
Other possible career paths include positions as specialist consultants, roles within government advisory bodies and departments, and community organisations.
There is an overlap between agriculture and land resource management. Organisations such as Landcare need leaders and skilled professionals with an understanding of the agricultural industry, an awareness of the environment and the sustainability of both.
There are many mainstream enterprises that are moving towards an agro-ecological focus who are looking for professionals with the right skills and knowledge to lead these enterprises forward.
Agricultural and environmental experts have already indicated their excitement about the prospects for graduates from this program.
