Up to 25 percent go on to higher education to become researchers researchers and professionals. Less than 15 percent return to the farm. Many high school students, teachers and parents aren't aware of these opportunities,' says McEwen.

Both the Agricultural Institute of Canada and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are predicting an increase increase in the need for university graduates in the agricultural sciences. Basic plant and animal research, food and fibre processing, and agribusiness management and marketing are expected to provide the most significant employment opportunities, but there is also a growing demand for agricultural expertise expertise in environmental management, management, landscape architecture, the greenhouse industry, chemical manufacturing, conservation and biotechnology.
