Agricultural Scientist

An Agricultural Scientist studies and improves agricultural practices to enhance crop and livestock production. You might work in research institutions, agricultural businesses, or government agencies. Agricultural Scientists focus on developing new crop varieties, improving soil health, and implementing sustainable farming techniques. You’ll conduct experiments, analyse data, and provide recommendations to optimise agricultural productivity.

Agricultural Scientists play a crucial role in advancing food security and sustainable agriculture. You’ll need to be detail-oriented and innovative, with a strong understanding of biological and environmental sciences. You’ll collaborate with farmers, researchers, and policymakers to apply your findings and support the agricultural sector.
