In between their math and literacy classes, students at Mackay North State High School students are raising red claw crayfish.
The project is part of a AgriFutures Australia program encouraging students to find business opportunities in the global food supply chain.
AgriFutures education and program director Leigh Morgan said the studentsâ âincredibleâ system helped them understand the multimillion-dollar aquaculture industry.
âOne of the things I love about (agricultural) students is that they see a problem and come up with an innovative solution,â Ms Morgan said.
âThatâs the type of critical thinking that moves a business forward towards an environmentally sustainable future.
