School of Agricultural Science staff undertake significant amounts of excellent agricultural and food research that is largely conducted through the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture.
The Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture consists of five sector-based Centres that conduct research, industry development and extension. The Dairy and Vegetable Centres are based at the Cradle Coast campus in Burnie, the Extensive Agriculture Centre is based at Mt Pleasant, near Launceston, and the Food Safety Centre and Perennial Horticulture Centres are based at the Sandy Bay campus in Hobart.
These commodity-aligned Centres provide an opportunity for postgraduate students enrolled with the School of Agricultural Science to complete their studies while working with experienced staff in a wide range of fields within TIA.
