Give me a campus among the gum trees
We visit the University of Melbourne’s Dookie campus to find out how science is helping improve agricultural practice
Published 15 December 2017
How do you produce a seriously juicy steak? What’s the difference between brewing a lager and a pale ale? How can students produce award winning wine? What role do drones have in the future of farming?
In this special episode of Eavesdrop on Experts, the team hits the road to meet the agriculture experts based in the rural town of Dookie in northern Victoria, where the University of Melbourne has a campus.
They bring a unique mix of expertise from the chemical molecules responsible for flavour to a knowledge of the history of age-old food practices, and explain how these can be reinvented for the 21st century and a more sustainable future.
