This unit is based on a new approach to agriculture through the development of animal production systems that are clean, green and ethical (CGE). The objective is for students to learn the scientific principles that underpin (1) the reduction in the use of chemicals and artificial hormones (clean); (2) the reduction of the negative impact on the environment (green); and (3) the optimisation of animal welfare (ethical). The unit is taught within the current landscape of farming systems in Western Australia and global animal production systems. -- Course Website
