Overview

Agricultural economists maximize profitability in agriculture to the benefit of society through studying and analysing the aspects that influence the agricultural economy and distribution of resources, such as land, raw materials, labour and machinery. Agricultural economists advise the agricultural sector on issues such as financing, marketing, agricultural development, policy, research and production. Agricultural economists are well-placed to meet these challenges and to work with governments to develop agricultural policies to promote income growth in poor areas. Agricultural economists' knowledge of the macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, puts them in a position to identify the effects of various macroeconomic policies on the food and fibre industry, and eventually on the whole population.

Overview

Agronomists have a wide range of work, but their role is best summed up as a “crop doctor” concerned with the health and well-being of crops used for food production, fuel, and land reclamation. An agronomist spends time in the lab going over crop data that has been collected to find out how to improve the next generation. The agronomist will then compare and research scientific journals and reference books as well as speak with his peers in order to pinpoint the cause and find a solution for the farmer. They aim to recommend the best crop and the correct harvesting techniques, to manipulate the interaction between plant and environment effectively.
