University of Tasmania first class honours agricultural science graduate, Peter Targett, has quantified the factors causing quality loss in walnuts.

Listen to his interview with the Tasmanian Country Hour online. The demand for highly skilled agricultural science graduates is huge – and growing. Each year there are around 800 agricultural science graduates in Australia with a staggering 5,000 jobs available. No other degree offers virtual certainty of employment after graduation.
