Abstract

The emphasis in Australian agriculture is on large, extensive farming operations, reflecting adaptation to both the physical and economic environments. In general terms, Australia is a flat, dry country with very variable weather conditions, where soils are not highly fertile and the availability of water is a major limiting factor. Such conditions, combined with a small domestic market and the need to export a large proportion of the country’s agricultural products, favor large farms with an emphasis on extensive grazing and cereal growing.
