Agricultural science and practice


The Agriculture Reddit

Agriculture, also called farming or husbandry, is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, biofuel and other products used to sustain human life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization.

Market stage cycle about Crop, Pesticides & Digital Agriculture

I believe Herbicides and Cotton are in the maturity stage because even with new products, they’re unlikely to attract new customers. On the other hand, Corn and Soybean Seeds, Fungicides, Insecticides, and Digital Agriculture seem poised for growth in the future. Does this reasoning make sense, or am I missing something?

First time organic farmer

Hello ,

I'm starting my journey in organic farming on my 1-acre land, where I've planted Khapli wheat, jowar, chickpeas, and green peas. I'm continuously learning about organic practices and recently did a soil test, which showed low organic carbon levels. I understand that improving soil quality will take time, but I'm committed to this process.I aim to scale up to commercial farming and would appreciate any insights on obtaining organic certification and the best approach to go commercial.

I am looking for help with getting my idea across

I'm a homesteader interested in connecting my rural community through shared food resources. I built a simple platform to let people create online communities focused on posting and exchanging food items. Each community includes four pages: a homepage, blog, food listing, and a food search tool. It’s free and user-friendly, requiring no account. Think of it like creating a digital farmers market for your local community. Share it with neighbors and locals to build your own online marketplace and strengthen community ties. Check out the Willow Creek page for an example!

I’d love your feedback on whether this format and concept for linking local food is a practical and viable idea. What are your thoughts?

Should I keep my ag business major?

I am currently a junior double majoring in Ag Business/ Econ and Turfgrass management. I have no ties to agriculture before college except for now working on a golf course. Ideally I want to go into sales for golf courses but I don't know how realistic that is to get after college. I'm really worried about getting a job after college due to my lack of farming experience. Should I just switch my major to marketing for job security purposes? The reason why I didn't originally is because I like being outside and never saw myself in a 9-5 office job. Regardless of not having experience I like the industry I just did not grow up in it.

Research paper

Hello, I am a grad student doing some research for a cultural discourse analysis. I thought Reddit would be a great source to gather data.

Question: what does Agriculture represent or mean in the African American community?

Any resources or answers will be greatly appreciated.

Best states for agbiz jobs?

I’m a college student majoring in agribusiness, I love what I do. Agriculture isn’t big where I live (suburb of nyc) and I’ve been looking at other U.S. states such as South Dakota, Iowa, and Kentucky. Does anyone here work in the industry, what states have good agribusiness opportunities?

Aeroponica Tower

Hello, I'm new to agribusiness. I've always been interested but never really delved into this area. I received a job from the university to create a product, and I ended up having the idea of making an aeroponic tower. If anyone has worked with one of them, I would appreciate any tips that I could use to complement the work.

Transitioning into AgriTech as a Software Engineer – Seeking Advice and Insights

I’m a software engineer deeply passionate about agriculture and the transformative role technology can play in this field. My goal is to transition into AgriTech and contribute to solving challenges that come with it.

My background is in FinTech and Fraud Detection Systems as a backend engineer and technical lead, with a little bit of experience in GIS (which is probably the only relevant subject to AgriTech). Although I don’t have direct experience in agriculture yet, I’m committed to learning and making an impact and hopefully land a job.

I’d love advice on:

  1. Suggestions for transitioning into this field and making meaningful contributions.

  2. Any resources, courses, or communities where I can deepen my knowledge in AgriTech.

  3. The specific tech stacks or skills most relevant in AgriTech.

  4. Companies or startups in Europe where I could apply my skills. (with visa sponsorship unfortunatly)

I’m open to networking and collaborations to gain experience in this space. Any insights, advice, or recommendations would mean a lot to me!

Thank you in advance for your help and guidance!

Need for a Lawyer

Hello! I grew up with horses and ranching and I am currently in law school. I am interested in starting an agricultural law practice after graduation.

My question is: how often do you need an attorney for your farm/ranch? What do you usually need one for, if at all?

Thank you!

Technology in the vineyard

Had a wonderful day checking the calibration of some of our sensors in the vineyard last week that are part of a university experiment to detect frost patterns and alert the growers.

What do you think about technology in agriculture?
