Sustainable agriculture the key to world hunger

Students at Charles Sturt University learn to balance natural resources, and human and economic factors in agriculture through our Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Agriculture. Through the graduate certificate, students extend their knowledge of agricultural production and food systems, climate change impacts, ecologically sustainable development, and water policy and management.

The graduate certificate focuses on environmental and economic sustainability to ensure the future of our primary industries and continued health of natural resources. Drawn from the fields of agriculture, ecology, environmental science, sociology, and economics, this course delivers a holistic overview of sustainable agricultural systems. Our students cover systems such as regenerative, organic and urban agriculture, controlled environment agriculture, intensive livestock production, and sustainable intensification. Importantly, students gain a thorough understanding of science and policy issues surrounding global climate change, focusing on agricultural impacts.
