About the program
The Feed Your Mind, Feed the World (FYM) camp is taking a break this year.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Feed Your Mind, Feed the World (FYM) is a free three-day camp for Year 11 and 12 students who are curious about where agriculture could take them.
Held in North West Tasmania, this is your chance to get out of the classroom and experience the industry firsthand. You will visit real farms and research sites, meet the people working in agriculture right now, and see how science, technology and innovation are driving one of the most important and fast-changing industries in the world.
Tasmania is known for its high-quality food and strong agricultural industry, and this camp gives you a behind-the-scenes look at why it matters, not just locally but globally. You will also hear directly from University of Tasmania staff about what studying agriculture is really like and where it can lead.
If you are starting to think about life after school, this is a great way to explore your options. The University of Tasmania now offers two pathways, the Bachelor of Agricultural Science and the Bachelor of Agriculture and Agribusiness, giving you the flexibility to focus on hands-on science, innovation, or the business side of the industry. Learn more about the new courses.
Agriculture is changing fast. It is driven by technology, sustainability, and new ideas, and it needs people who want to make a real impact. This camp is your chance to see if it is the right fit for you.
*The program is free to attend; however, travel to and from is not covered. Interstate students may be eligible for up to $400 towards flights. See Transport FAQ for details.
