Agriculture Education

Animal Science

This pathway focuses on the scientific principles that underline the breeding, care, and management of agricultural animals and the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural animal products. This includes developing better, more efficient ways of producing and processing meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products, as well as studying genetics, nutrition, reproduction, growth and development of animals.

Horticulture and Plant Science Systems

This pathway focuses on the scientific principles that underlie the breeding, cultivation, and production of agricultural plants, and the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural plant products. This includes instruction in the plant sciences, crop cultivation and production, and agricultural and food products processing
