Agricultural Scientist

Agricultural scientists study plants, animals, soil, and farming methods to improve the efficiency and sustainability of agriculture. Their work helps ensure the safe and efficient production of food, fibres, and other products. Tasks can include conducting experiments, developing new crops or animal breeds, analysing soil samples, and advising farmers on best practices. Agricultural scientists may work in laboratories, on farms, or for government agencies and private companies. They often collaborate with other scientists, farmers, and policy makers to address issues like food security, environmental impact, and the effects of climate change on agriculture.
