Agricultural Science

OVERVIEW OF WHAT THEY DO  

An Agricultural major teaches you about farming, crop cultivation, and animal husbandry. You'll learn how to manage soil health, control pests, and increase crop yields sustainably. With this knowledge, you can improve agricultural practices, enhance food production, and contribute to the sustainability of our food systems, ensuring a stable and sufficient food supply for communities and future generations.

Difficulties and concerns in studying Agricultural Science:

Scientific Complexity: Agricultural studies involve a deep understanding of biological sciences, soil science, genetics, agronomy, and agricultural economics. Students must grasp complex concepts such as plant physiology, crop management, pest control, and agricultural sustainability.

Fieldwork and Practical Experience: Agriculture is a hands-on field that requires practical experience and fieldwork. Students need access to farms, research facilities, and agricultural machinery to gain practical skills in crop cultivation, livestock management, irrigation techniques, and agricultural practices.

Technological Advancements: Modern agriculture is increasingly reliant on technology, including precision farming, remote sensing, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and agricultural drones. Students need to stay updated with technological advancements and acquire skills in digital agriculture, data analysis, and technology integration.

Policy and Regulatory Compliance: Agricultural professionals must comply with government regulations, agricultural policies, environmental regulations, and food safety standards. They need to navigate complex regulatory frameworks, obtain permits, licenses, and certifications, and adhere to best practices to ensure compliance and regulatory approval.

Climate Change Vulnerability: Malaysia is vulnerable to climate change impacts such as erratic rainfall patterns, droughts, floods, and temperature extremes, affecting agricultural productivity and food security. Implementing climate-smart agriculture practices, enhancing resilience, and adapting to climate change are imperative for Malaysia's agricultural sector to mitigate risks and ensure food security.

Realistic (R): Realistic individuals are practical, hands-on, and enjoy working with tools, equipment, and machinery. They prefer activities that involve physical tasks and outdoor environments. Agricultural Science majors often align with the Realistic code because they engage in practical, hands-on work related to farming, crop cultivation, livestock management, and agricultural machinery operation. They may work in fields, greenhouses, or laboratories, conducting experiments, planting crops, or tending to livestock.

Investigative (I): Investigative individuals are analytical, curious, and enjoy solving complex problems through research and analysis. They prefer activities that involve gathering and interpreting data, conducting experiments, and exploring scientific principles. Agricultural Science majors often exhibit traits associated with the Investigative code because they engage in scientific research, experimentation, and data analysis to improve agricultural practices, develop new crop varieties, or address environmental challenges. They may study plant genetics, soil science, pest management, or agricultural economics to enhance productivity and sustainability in agriculture.
