The day gives students an insight into the work of agricultural and veterinary scientists, in hands-on workshops with researchers from Charles Sturt University and NSW Department of Primary Industries in four 45 minute workshops.
This year students participated in workshops looking at lamb production and management; the rise of superbugs; the health benefits of rice and insights into careers in agriculture.
With the escalating skills shortage in agriculture, these days provide a great opportunity for students to see the science in action, encouraging them to consider a future career in the agricultural supply chain.
