AGRI2002: Agricultural and Environmental Markets
2025 unit information
In the contemporary agricultural sector, an understanding of both ‘traditional’ agricultural markets and emerging markets for agricultural environmental services is crucial. This unit of study will provide all Agricultural Science students with a fundamental knowledge of food and fibre (crop) markets and livestock markets in Australia and internationally and will introduce students to the analysis of the economic mechanisms through which these markets operate. Important environmental markets that intersect with agricultural production systems, including water, carbon, biodiversity and energy markets, will also be studied. These markets are rapidly becoming important source of income to farmers in Australia and elsewhere. Students will develop skills to analyse the economic dynamics of these markets, and how they interact with more traditional agricultural practices.
