Rural Livelihoods Two of the Universitys campuses are devoted exclusively to research and teaching in agriculture and agricultural economics, and together they comprise the greatest collection of expertise and research facilities in the southern hemisphere relevant to the sustainable production of food and wine. On the Universitys Waite campus, we have the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics, the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility, the Australian Wine Research Institute, the Wine Innovation Cluster, the Centre for Soil-Plant Interactions, and the FoodPlus Research Centre. The work carried out on this campus underpins much of Australias cereal crops and wine export industries. On the Roseworthy campus, the focus is on farming systems, including crop agronomy, weed management, agro-forestry, and on animal science and veterinary science. The research carried out on this campus has particular relevance to beef, pork and poultry production, while new facilities to support the aquaculture industry are under development. The state-of-the-art Veterinary Health Centre contains the very latest laboratory facilities for the diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases and is capable of conducting examinations of most large farm and zoo animals.
