Land and Food: Agricultural and Related Education in the Victorian Colleges and the University of Melbourne
The creation of the new
Institute of Melbourne School of Land and Environment on 1 July 1997 represents
a landmark in the history of agricultural, food, forestry, horticulture and
natural resource management education in Australia. It indicates a commitment
from the Victorian College of Agriculture and Horticulture and the University
of Melbourne to merge the agriculture, food, forestry and horticultural
activities into a single faculty to become Australia's largest ever such
entity. The book traces the story
of the forming entities of Land and Food in chronological order touching
on high points and attempting to draw out elements which contribute to today's
culture within this very large faculty. The personalities in the early stages
of agricultural education, including the persuaders, rogues, visionaries,
politicians, academics and farmers, are, we believe, mentioned in context.
