Immersed in an approach that integrates social, economic and environmental values, students will view plant and animal products from consumer contexts to explore personal and community perceptions about food sustainability. 

This innovative course at Western Sydney University merges topics of agriculture, food and health to empower you to design solutions for international development, community education and the urban–rural interface. 

This major provides hands-on experience, developing confidence and giving graduates an excellent foundation for teaching, research, biotechnology and industry careers. 

Throughout your study, engagement with industry and community will inspire you to take action towards a regenerative and more environmentally sustainable AgriFood future.

The flexibility of the course also enables students to combine their interest in AgriFood with other disciplines, including animal science, data science, ecology, innovative foods, health and business.
