Agriculture and Fisheries
Australia’s agriculture industry involves anything that is grown or raised for human use.
About the industry
The Agriculture industry is responsible for the production of products and services including produce, livestock, flowers, lumber and harvesting plants. These are placed on the shelves for society to sell and consume, producing a world fueled by nutrition and economic security.
The development of agriculture spans thousands of years and has been affected by human cultures, climate variations, and evolving technologies. Despite the industry’s evolution over the centuries, all types of farming rely on innovative, 21st century methods to nurture healthy crops and species.
Fisheries and aquaculture research helps support sustainable and profitable fisheries and aquaculture sectors through innovative research in collaboration with other scientific organisations and industry.
