A Glossary of Australian Agricultural and Farm Business Management Terms

This glossary was compiled for the use of Agriculture and Natural Resource students of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Adelaide. While it concentrates on terms in use in Australia and New Zealand, it contains terms from other countries as well.  It contains links to external websites, however the web is a dynamic thing with sites disappearing or changing location frequently.  Please advise if a link does not work. The words used in the search facility are monitored and additional entries made if appropriate.

It has been developed from from a number of print based sources including:
