Careers in Agriculture

About Course

The goal of this module is to explore the challenges and the benefits of careers in the agri-food sector. We will explore careers throughout the complete food system rather than focusing on the well-known option of entrepreneurial farming. Farming is only one career option that represents a small segment of the agri-food sector. There are many career options in agri-food that range from government to technology and finances! Young students who do not realize that there are professional opportunities in agri-food are missing the chance to consider exciting personal and financial rewards. Education pathways will also be discussed and you may be surprised to learn the high level of professionalism and work ethic that is required in the agri-food sector.
