Award-Winning Agricultural Science Tutors serving Harvey, IL

Agriculture is one of the oldest human endeavors and occupations, with origins in the Fertile Crescent region of the Middle East some ten thousand years ago. However, ten thousand years of scientific discovery and historical shifts in the nature of agricultural practice means that studying agricultural science in the modern world is not a simple undertaking. Earning an agricultural science degree entails gaining broad knowledge in math, biology, and chemistry - especially in certain subfields of biology, such as ecology and genetics, which are highly applicable to agricultural endeavors. Because of the wide range of occupations, crops, livestock, and business organizations encompassed by the field of agriculture, different students' agriculture degrees can focus on a wide variety of different areas in the field. Some students may wish to pursue agricultural studies with a business focus, aimed at working in the food industry or owning their own independent business. Others may wish to focus on environmentally sustainable and organic practices, as well as the socioeconomic consequences of different methods of food production, with a goal of working for an environmental agency or advocacy group. Still others may wish to gain the knowledge and experience they will need for the production of a particular crop or the raising of a particular variety of livestock.
