By Becky Parker, Project and Partnership Strategist at AgScape
Close your eyes and imagine your future. Do you dream of fame and fortune? Are you longing for an opportunity to apply your passion? Do you want to
help people, or make a positive impact on the environment? Would you be surprised to learn that a career in agriculture can let you realize your dreams?
The opportunities in agriculture are endless, and so are the benefits! Here are 5 amazing things you can do with a career in agriculture.
1
SEE THE WORLD
Agriculture is everywhere, and you can hop on for the ride. Do you want to spend a few months abroad to see another
country? You can work on a dairy farm in New Zealand, a horticulture operation in Holland, or make wine in France. There
are plenty of ways for you to get hands-on experience while traveling the world and learning about the different cultures in
agriculture. Full-time jobs can take you abroad too! Many agribusinesses are multi-national companies, so you could have
the opportunity to work in an office in Sydney, Australia, or maybe Brussels, Belgium. Whether it is a small, rural town or a
big urban city; close to home or on the other side of the world - agriculture can take you there.

MAKE THE NEWEST DISCOVERY
Jobs in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) are plentiful in agriculture. Every day, people are working
in agriculture careers doing things like developing drought-resistant crops, manufacturing plastics from plants, or
improving animal welfare through new barn designs. In a career in agriculture, you could be part of the next big
discovery, which makes a positive impact on people, plants, animals, or the environment. Are you up to the challenge?
