Announcing - New experts and new fields of expertise.
Agriculture refers to the science and practice of farming, with particular focus upon the production and cultivation of commodities which maintain life. This includes cultivation of granary, vegetables, fruit, oils, meat, milk, and livestock. As at 2018, it is estimated that approximately 28% of the population was employed in the field of agriculture. The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment recently disclosed that Australian agriculture accounts for:
• 55% of Australian land use (427 million hectares, excluding timber production in December 2020) and 25% of water extractions (3,113 gigalitres used by agriculture in 2018–19);
• 11% of goods and services exports in 2019–20;
• 1.9% of value added (GDP) and 2.6% of employment in 2019–20
Businesses working within the agricultural sector range from small specialist producers and growers to the large-scale production of crops and livestock. With growing technological advancements made every day, the quality and amount of produce that is harvested daily has more than doubled since the 1950s. However, with issues such as disease, pests, and pillaging relegated to issues of the past new issues have arisen. This may include: climate change, economic issues, environmental issues, political factors, and the demands of a growing population.
