Food Tech Notes Hsc

The concerns for the 5% of the Australian population who are currently facing food insecurity are predominantly due to reduced access to nutritious food, particularly in rural and remote areas and low socio economic issues around affordability. However as a nation, Australia has more food than it needs and as such has numerous for opportunities for trade, including wheat, barley, diary and beef.

As an illustration, under the program of Horticulture Industry Network, the DEPI has funded the fruit growers to improve the productivity of the system (RMCG 2013; Adam 2013). Furthermore, Victorian Coalition Government program has made an investment of $1 million for improving the skills of workforce in advance to stimulate the economy of the region (Department of Education & Training 2014). The Goulburn Valley Industry and Infrastructure Fund also aligns with the goals by creating employment opportunities, driving the development of production systems as well as the economic growth through supply chain (Apple and Pear Australia Limited 2014). In addition, fruit growers approach the local government to discuss the QFF issues for pest and disease control (Brumby

The world has a need for meat, and it is almost obsessive. Most cultures typically consume some sort of domesticated animal in agriculture. Whether it is cows, chicken, lamb, deer, turkey, or fish, many people are not educated to the fact that the alternative diets are better for their health. There are different animal products for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hundreds if not thousands of diverse chain restaurants dedicated to meat consumption.There are also many different holidays around the world such as Thanksgiving and Christmas where meat is consumed. With affordable prices and an acquired taste, it is likely to be a lifelong habit. There are vast miles of subsidized agricultural land dedicated to the cultivation of animals. According to Amir Khan, staff writer for U.S.News, reporting on the American Meat Institute, Americans consume, “57 pounds more meat than they were in the 1950s”(Khan).

Out of all the meats, chicken is chosen because of the high demand for it in comparison to others. For instance, Australians average out on consuming 46.2 grams of chicken per day, this being the leading meat eaten. The predecessor

Meat, everyone loves meat. Well, except for vegetarians. I for one am a meat lover; if you asked me to choose between a healthy salad and an oily heart attack burger, I would go for the burger. I eat fast food once in a while, and I do like the burgers. At times, I would wonder where the meat comes from since it tastes different from burgers that come from actual restaurants.

The growth of supermarkets and fast-food eateries gave way to a new method of consumption. No longer was food’s route from the local farm or ranch to the

In 1950, after World War ll the demand for meat really boomed because income was beginning to rise and the birth of babies meant new customers, plus the production of meat was fast and cheap. So, children were the

This paper will examine the Australian beef market, and whether it is an attractive market for South Korea to import from. An analysis of the current Australian and South Korean beef industries; the conditions required to produce beef most efficiently, following the Heckscher-Ohlin Model; tariffs that are involved with these trades, and the impact of the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement; environmental implications to Australia; as well as the cultural environment and geographic factor, will be discussed to determine whether South Korea is an attractive market for Australian beef.

     Agriculture has changed dramatically, especially since the end of World War II. Food and fibre productivity rose due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, specialization and government policies that favoured maximizing production. These changes allowed fewer farmers with reduced labour demands to produce the majority of the food and fibre.

My interest in Food Science is never-ending and I am really looking forward to finding out more about the food industry. I hope to gain the scientific knowledge and practical experience from this course so that I will be able to contribute to achieving a better quality of life in the

The country has been able to take advantage of the region’s positive prospects and should continue to do so in coming years. The country has good prospects for economic growth and foreign direct investment (FDI), import cover levels are comfortable, and political risk is relatively low.
