Summary

The Victorian College of Agriculture & Horticulture (VCAH) was formed in 1983 as a grouping of the agricultural colleges of the State of Victoria in Australia. It included the five colleges Burnley, Dookie, Gilbert Chandler, Glenormiston and Longerenong, and the McMillan Rural Studies Centre to form a single institution.

In 1997 the Victorian College of Agriculture and Horticulture merged with the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Agriculture, Forestry and Horticulture, creating the Institute of Land and Food Resources.
