Faculty of Land and Food Resources, University of Melbourne
- Faculty of Land and Food Resources, University of Melbourne
The University of Melbourne's Faculty of Land and Food Resources is an important provider of Australian agricultural education, and is the largest of its type in that country. It was officially created on 1 July 1997 as a combination of most of the agricultural, forestry, horticulture and food science higher education in Victoria, Australia. Its founding brought together the Victorian College of Agriculture and Horticulture (Dookie, Longerenong, Burnley and Glenormiston Agricultural Colleges, Gilbert Chandler Food Technology College, McMillan Education Centre, the School of Forestry, Creswick) and the University of Melbourne's departments of Agriculture and Forestry.
In 2005, the University divested itself of the Longerenong, Glenormiston and McMillan sites. It also began to outsource much of the training provided at the other sites.
