Agricultural Science

Agricultural technology explores the integration of modern tech into farming practices. Learners will understand how sensors, automation, data analytics, and biotechnology are used to optimize crop yields and improve resource efficiency.

Crop science is the study of plant genetics, breeding, and management for food production. Learners will understand plant physiology, soil interactions, pest management, and techniques for improving crop yield and sustainability.

Food systems examine the entire network of food production, processing, distribution, and consumption. Learners will understand the economic, environmental, and social factors that influence global food security and sustainability.

Hydroponics and aquaponics are soil-free cultivation methods. Learners will understand how to design and manage these systems, balancing nutrient solutions, water quality, and symbiotic relationships between fish and plants.

Permaculture is an ecological design framework for creating sustainable agricultural systems. Learners will understand how to apply natural patterns and principles to design self-sufficient landscapes, conserve water, and build healthy soil.

Sustainable farming focuses on agricultural practices that protect the environment and support communities. Learners will understand soil conservation, biodiversity, organic cultivation techniques, and methods to reduce the ecological footprint of agriculture.
