Where to find us

The School of Agriculture, Food and Wine is co-located on the Roseworthy and Waite campuses of the University of Adelaide.

Roseworthy Campus

Roseworthy is the home to Agricultural & Animal Science, Australian Grain Technologies and to some parts of Plant & Food Science. Their locations are shown on the attached map.

Australia's first agricultural college was established at Roseworthy, 50km north of Adelaide in 1883. Since its establishment, the Australian agricultural industry has recognised Roseworthy Agricultural College as the premier teaching facility for the sector and close partnerships with industry and government research groups have always been a feature of Roseworthy's development.

Most of the best-known names in agriculture and wine are graduates of the Roseworthy campus. While viticulture and oenology are now based at the Waite, the original connection and proud tradition live on in the name of the Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory at Waite. In its turn, Roseworthy has now become the key campus for research and education in animal production and dryland agriculture.

Roseworthy is continuing its pioneering role with a new strategic vision for the new century that focuses on combining and integrating resources with campus partners and rural industries to develop the campus as the hub of information transfer, communication, learning and new technologies for the rural community. This vision is already fact with the establishment of two recent ventures - the Livestock Systems Alliance and the Roseworthy Information Centre.

Waite Campus

The internationally renowned Waite campus encompasses the largest agricultural research complex in the Southern hemisphere. Located close to the city, Waite is home to several co-operative research centres established with government and industry partners.

Waite Campus is located in the Adelaide foothills with a view to the sea and the city, just twenty minutes away by car or bus. The Campus is home to a number of Schools within the University of Adelaide's Faculty of Sciences, and to a number of research partners.

Waite Campus is a centre for excellence in molecular plant breeding, horticulture, viticulture, oenology, integrated pest management, weed management and soil and water management. The Faculty is a major collaborator in Cooperative Research Centres on this Campus for Molecular Plant Breeding, Weed Management and Salinity.
