SCFSS2300 Sustainable Food Production
This course provides students with the opportunity to view food production and processing through the lens of sustainability, focusing on post-harvest stages of food production. The course will provide students with the knowledge and skills to analyse current and future food processing systems in the context of water efficiency, material and energy balance, life cycle assessment, gas emissions, and food supply chain analysis. In developing an understanding of sustainable processing practices students will be exposed to production facilities, including small-scale and large-scale operations. Future trends in sustainable foods will be addressed, including the role of processing to help meet future needs. Site visits and/or virtual tours will be used to demonstrate sustainable practices and form the basis of some assessment tasks.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
