Innovation Training Initiative

The AFII Innovation Training Initiative supports the development of new skills and pathways for future innovators, influencers and leaders in the agri-food sector.

Would you like to become an agricultural innovator and build the future of food and fibre? We currently have opportunities for undergraduate students, postgraduate students, and industry.

Undergraduate students

By adding agricultural courses to your degree at The Australian National University, you can be part of the growing movement to sustainably feed the world. Agriculture is expected to be a $100 billion industry by 2030.

Courses can fit into degrees from engineering, computer science, science, public policy and more. If you are studying a Bachelor of Environment and Sustainability, or Bachelor of Science, you can also consider a Major in Agricultural Innovation.
