Agriculture, Economics and Nature

Western Australia examines agriculture as both an economic activity and a user of natural resources. Production and prices lead into environmental challenges, input decisions, land conservation and policy. The course offers a sector-specific application of economics for learners who want to connect market decisions with the resource constraints surrounding food production.

What you will learn

• Relate agricultural production to prices and resources.
• Explain economic questions in land conservation.
• Compare the roles of projects and government policy.
