Modern agriculture is a modern business in every sense. This essential industry, often cited as the world’s largest, utilizes the latest cutting-edge technology to improve our lives and find solutions to challenges that affect us on a global scale. Whether you want to work on agricultural and sustainability policies to help prevent the next global food crisis or develop new technologies and growing practices, EKU’s agriculture bachelor’s degree provides the skills and experience needed to position yourself as a leader in this evolving field.
Employment of agricultural and food scientists is projected to grow as research into agricultural production methods and techniques continues. The need to address challenges such as increased demand for water resources, combating pests and pathogens, and changes in climate and weather patterns is expected to create jobs for these workers. Demand for agricultural products, including biofuels, also is expected to contribute to employment growth.
Overall employment of agricultural and food scientists is projected to grow 6 percent from 2022 to 2032.
