Career pathways for Crop sciences graduates
Crop Advisor
Crop advisors are experts in the fields of plants and soil. They offer advice on everything from seed to fertiliser, as well as pest management and disease treatment. Their key responsibilities include collaborating with other consultants in the region to understand disease and pest outbreaks better, and providing advice to farmers about what countermeasures they should take if pest outbreaks occur.
Biotechnologist
Biotechnologists employ biological organisms to produce and improve agricultural, medical, and conservation products and processes. They look into the genetic, chemical, and physical characteristics of cells, tissues, and organisms to find commercial uses. Biotechnologists are on the front end of technology and explore new ways to optimise the farming process. Biotechnology is one of the fastest-growing fields in the world today. As a biotechnologist, you may be able to contribute significantly to fields like pest management, food security, soil preservation and disease control.
Farm Manager
A farm owner hires a farm manager to oversee a farm or a group of farms. What distinguishes a farmer from a farm manager is the unique expertise they bring to the table when caring for crops and livestock. Their job entails livestock management, increasing crop yield, planning farming tasks, managing farmworkers, crop protection, harvesting, and marketing the produce. Moreover, they are responsible for documenting farm activities, and keeping track of all financial elements and strategic planning.
Soil Fertility Specialist
Soil fertility specialists are responsible for boosting agricultural output by regulating nutrients, crop rotations and cover crops. They provide advice on maximising yield by deploying commercial fertilisers and manure to provide nutrients and organic matter to the soil.
