Overview
Global agriculture and food security is fundamental to the survival of the human race. Dryland (rain-fed) farming systems are incredibly important to maintaining sustainable and profitable food production throughout the world, particularly in southern Australia.
Experts and innovators in dryland agricultural systems are critical to ensuring food security in ecosystems challenged by water scarcity and biophysical constraints.
The Dryland Agricultural Systems program from Curtin University covers science and technology for crop, pasture and livestock production. This includes the roles of genetics and management in achieving optimum production against environmental constraints, and their integration into viable farming systems.
