Indigenous wisdom has profound implications for sustainable land use in Australia. Traditional practices are explored in Terra Knowing to offer insights into harmonising with nature and preserving ecosystems. Students utilise data to develop informed decision-making for complex Australian landscapes. Embracing design thinking as a tool for innovation, students are encouraged to reimagine approaches to environmental management and agricultural practice. By understanding the diverse needs of audiences, students utilise evidence to develop and communicate compelling justifications for change.


Why explore Terra Knowing?
- To understand and examine the relationship between people and the land and the science behind the natural systems that impact them.
- Explore the technologies utilised and explore solutions for problems faced by those working with the land.
- Land management and food production are becoming increasingly important factors in the future of human race as we become more aware of the impacts we have. Now more than ever, we need to innovate, design, test, create and evaluate.
Key Concepts
Understanding the Land
In this module we will explore how the differing perspectives of European settlers and Indigenous People have influenced Australia.
Knowing the Problems
This module aims to provide an understanding of key science concepts related to agriculture and data analysis tools that can be utilised to identify and understand problems faced by specific locations.
Designing the Future
In this module, students explore how design, technology, and engineering intersect with science to develop innovative solutions for managing land in primary industries.
