This unit will explore the challenges of creating agricultural products suitable for food and animal feed. Many agricultural products for food use (e.g. grains) are segregated into classes, each of which has a particular quality, end use, target market and production system. We will study production systems for food of plant and animal origin i.e. cereals, grain legumes, oil seeds, fruit and vegetables, dairy and meat, as well as production systems for animal feed (pastures). Production of agricultural produce will be related to Environmental Management Systems, Quality Management Systems and potential food safety and trade barriers to international markets. -- Course Website
