This is a capstone course and as such we expect that students will interact with teaching staff and other students.ﾠWe will be using a flexible teaching mode throughout the semester. This means that in some cases lectures may be pre-recorded and there may be some self-directed learning activities. As such, please do not always expect a formal lecture. We expect that you will read widely, attend lectures and question what we say. In this course you will studyﾠconcepts of sustainability as it relates to agricultural systems, encompassing soils, plants and animals, as well as components of the supply chain. We will also cover aspects of economic,ﾠenvironmental and social sustainabilityﾠrelevant to agricultural production in Australia and globally.ﾠMuch of what we discuss will be aimed at best practice - but we do not assume that what weﾠpresent is the only way that it can be done.
There are a number of internal and external (industry)ﾠguest lecturers that deliver content into this course, as such at times there may be a need to have late changes to the scheduled lecture series. Please ensure that you are monitoring blackboard for the most up-to-date information.
This course has a compulsory field trip element, enrolment into the external offering is associated with the attendance of a mandatory 6-day field tour/field trip. The tour is in week 9 of Semester (September 15 to 20), and you are responsible for travel arrangements to and from UQ Gatton. Students participating in this trip are required to pay $250 into a university account to support meal costs during the tour (more details to come).

Task description
Background. For this literature review you are to discuss how the use of technology will support sustainable agriculture in a specific context. There is some flexibility to the scale of approach in this literature review. What this means is that you can focus on a particular industry (e.g. mango production), system (e.g. agronomy), or technology (e.g. virtual fencing). The focus of your literature review should centre around the use of technologies and their application in the context of your topic and how this will improve sustainability outcomes in that situation. You will also need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies for use in your specific context. You will need to be very specific with this literature review due to the size constraints, so you will need to be concise and focused. If you are concerned about topic selection, please feel free to discuss your ideas with your course co-ordinator Dr Angela Lees (a.lees@uq.edu.au).
Literature Review Structure. In your review you will need to cover the following items.
i) define/describe what you are investigating in your review,
ii) describe the technology/ies being discussed,
iii) discuss the application of the technology/ies, and
iv) highlight how they contribute to sustainability, with consideration to the pros and cons for the use of your technology.
You may find it useful to use the descriptions above to create headings to start your literature review skeleton.
Credibility & References.
Given that this is a literature review you will need to do lots of reading, so you are encouraged to choose a topic that is of interest to you. Selecting a topic that is of interest to you will make this task more enjoyable to complete, otherwise you will find it a dreadful task that you will take nothing away from. In addition, it is advisable that you select a topic that you are able to find scientific resources easily.
General Formatting and Communication.
The main body of the literature review should be 2500 words, this includes your in-text citations, BUT excludes the reference list provided at the end. For this literature review, I am requesting the use of Journal of Animal Science formatting. The reason is simple, in my opinion this is the most simplistic and discipline relevant citation style that exists for us. The general rules are simple. Your literature must be typed, 1.5 to 2.0 line spacings are ok, font size 12, in Australian (British) English and neatly presented. Communicating your thoughts in a concise and grammatically correct manner is essential to any written document, here at The University of Queensland or outside this institution.
A more detailed Description and Rubric will be provided on Blackboard.
This assessment task evaluates students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT). Students are advised that the use of AI or MT technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Legal Declaration
By submitting your work via this website, you formally declare that (1) it is your own original work, and no part of the work has been copied from any other source or person except where due acknowledgement is made; (2) no part of the work has been previously submitted for assessment in this or any other institution; and (3) you have read the UQ Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Policy (http://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.60.04-student-integrity-and-misconduct) and understand its implications.
Deferral or extension
You may be able to apply for an extension.
Extension to the specified timelines may be available for this item if students are able to provide appropriate evidence of documented exceptional circumstances.
Submission of an Extension of Assessment Due Date (EADD) should be completed before the due date and time of the assessment item.
Late submission
A penalty of 10% of the maximum possible mark will be deducted per 24 hours from time submission is due for up to 7 days. After 7 days, you will receive a mark of 0.
Assessment deadlines are firm and must be met. Late submission without permission or non-submission of assessable work will result in penalties being applied. Late submission of assessment will only be granted for documented medical reasons, accident, bereavement, jury service and other circumstances allowed in the UQ Policies and Procedures Library (PPL).

Task description
Task Summary
Size – Estimated 2000 – 3000 words (combined total). NOTE: Word count is not limited, this task is a reflection activity and needs to cover what it needs to cover.
Presentation – typed, with a cover page.
Background.
In this task you will need to provide your own personal reflections on each enterprise you attend, regardless of your involvement in Stream 1 or Stream 2 of the compulsory field work.
Reflection Structure.
For each of the enterprises visited, consider the following questions:
1. Enterprise description: Name, Location, Production enterprise description (i.e. what does this enterprise do?).
2. Does the enterprise have sustainability goals? If yes, what are they? If no, do opportunities exist?
3. What did you learn at this enterprise that you didn’t know before visiting? What was it?
4. Was there anything unexpected that you learned at this enterprise?
5. Would you recommend this location to friends/colleagues/peers to visit? Why?
General Formatting and Communication.
Task Size – 200-300 words per reflection (excluding references, if used)
What this means is that you are to address the five (5) questions above, where question one (1) does not count towards the word count. This means that your reflection across the whole semester will be about 2000 – 3000 words in total.
General Formatting
Your report must be typed, 1.5 to 2.0 line spacings are ok, font size 12, in Australian (British) English and neatly presented. Communicating your thoughts in a concise and grammatically correct manner is essential to any written document, here at The University of Queensland or outside this institution. One way to check is to read your assignment aloud to yourself, if it is awkward to speak then it is awkward to read.
This assessment task evaluates students' abilities, skills and knowledge without the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Translation (MT). Students are advised that the use of AI or MT technologies to develop responses is strictly prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

SWOT Analysis. You will be required to prepare a SWOT analysis on one enterprise that you have visited during field trip element of this course (via Stream 1 or Stream 2). A SWOT analysis is used to assess and evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of a business. The outcomes from a SWOT analysis can be utilised as a strategic planning tool to progress and achieve strategic targets and business goals. For this report, you will need to consider sustainability in the context of your chosen agricultural enterprise, remembering that sustainability encompasses multiple components (including financial, environmental, ethical, social and product quality) that your focus enterprise is facing or has faced. For your SWOT, the following might help you to get thinking:
· Strengths – positive factors that the enterprise has control over, i.e. what is this enterprise doing well?
· Weaknesses – does the enterprise have weaknesses or negative factors that appear to be within their control, i.e. what might this enterprise not be doing well?
· Opportunities – what positive factors exist that are outside the enterprise's control that they might be able to harness more effectively, i.e. what are the overall industry sustainability targets?
· Threats – are their negative factors beyond the control of the enterprise, i.e. activism, legislation out of your control. For example, what could potentially harm us?
During the visits to the various enterprises, make sure to make relevant notes and ask questions that will provide you with the necessary information for your SWOT analysis.
Report Structure.
In your report you will need to cover the following items.
1. Introduction - here you will need to define sustainability in the context of your enterprise.
2. Enterprise Overview - this is the who, what, when and where of your report.
3. Strengths
4. Weaknesses
5. Opportunities
6. Threats
7. Conclusions - summarise how your enterprise is performing from a sustainability context.
You may find it useful to use the items above to create headings to start your report skeleton. Remember to ask the questions at the enterprise you have identified to conduct your report on.
A more detailed assessment description and rubric will be made available via Blackboard.

Course Grading Rules and Assessment Hurdles
Students must pass the end of semester exam in order to pass the course. If a student obtains an overall percentage greater than the cut-offs set to achieve a 4 or higher for the course based on marks from a combination of progressive assessment and the final exam and the student does NOT score a passing grade in the final exam, they are unable to achieve a grade higher than a 3 (failing grade) for the course.
In addition to any other hurdles, a student must receive a pass mark on each of the practical-based assessment items: Reflections and Enterprise SWOT, in order to achieve a grade of 4 or higher. Any student who fails to meet this will be awarded a grade of 3 and will not be eligible for supplementary assessment.
Supplementary assessment
Supplementary assessment is not available for some items in this course.
This course is Partially Exempt for Supplementary Assessment. Not all of the assessment components of this course may be re-assessed with supplementary assessment. A grade of 3 or N does not guarantee that supplementary assessment may be undertaken for this course, however students may apply.
Assessment item(s) exempt: SWOT analysis and reflections. The practical exercise (field trips offered via Stream 1 and Stream s) is a major part of this course and provides a hands-on understanding of the theoretical knowledge you will gain through the lectures. In conjunction with valuable industry exposure. Demonstration of the practical techniques is compulsory and it is not possible to reproduce the activities for supplementary assessment.
