This subject provides students with a systems theory framework for analysing and applying critical thinking to contemporary global issues in agriculture. Students will investigate complex agricultural issues including globalised trade networks, food-based social movements, Indigenous Australians knowledge, sustainability challenges and the economic, social, cultural and political influences affecting change in agricultural systems, practices and policies. The subject focuses on local-global integrated dynamics of agriculture, with specific attention to people and the people-centred nature of agriculture. Students will be introduced to social research methodology and will have the opportunity to investigate a case study in-depth. Students will explore multiple techniques for communicating their findings via a range of media.
