Agricultural Education

Last winter I was introduced to the field of agricultural sciences. Before then, I did not know how broad the field of study was, and I was not aware of the many different career opportunities that the government and private sectors have to offer. All I immediately thought of was farming. As I looked into the field, I discovered it consisted of three sectors, which were input, production, and marketing. That is when I became interested in agricultural business, because I realized my business skills could translate to the industry. The way I view agriculture has changed, and I feel as though agricultural sciences should be presented to the youth more often than it has been. I understand that they will become aware of the various career paths and educational aspects of topics relative to food, nutrition, and health, and safety. The world population has been increasing over the years and it is expected to become much larger. I believe that it is essential for the future of this world to be equipped with the resources and knowledge to succeed.
