Making a real impact in
Sustainable agriculture and food
At La Trobe, we believe that real impact happens with real action. Our sustainable agriculture and food researchers are working with global industry, community, government, and academic partners to tackle the key challenges of our times.
Ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture are driving forces for La Trobe University through our research and operations.
Our world-class institutions, labs and collaborations with industry are actively shaping the future of agriculture, and our research aims to develop cutting-edge methods to improve capability and capacity to secure a sustainable agricultural and food production future.
