The workforce challenge in horticulture

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The future for Australian horticulture is buoyant but taking advantage of the opportunities is likely to be compromised by the shortage of professionals in the sector. The levels of education are low relative to the rest of the community and the offerings of horticultural education at universities are disappearing through lack of students. There appears to be no strategy in place to address this challenge.
