Think agriculture is just about farming? Think again!

Agriculture is a diverse and evolving industry with opportunities in science, technology, business, engineering, animal care, research, and so much more. Whether you're interested in developing new technologies, working with animals, solving real-world challenges or exploring the science behind food production, there's a place for you in agriculture.

To help students discover these possibilities, BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation (BCAITC), in collaboration with thinkAG, is introducing a new collection of agricultural career profiles!

Meet the professionals behind today's agriculture

Our collection features 12 career profiles highlighting professionals working in different areas of the agriculture industry. Each profile offers students a closer look at a career, what the work involves and the opportunities available in this agriculture sector.

Explore the careers:

From drones and robotics to animal health, emergency response and scientific research, these profiles showcase just how varied a career in agriculture can be.

A closer look at real-world career paths

Choosing a future career can feel like a big decision, especially when you're still discovering what interests you. These profiles are designed to help students connect classroom learning with real-world opportunities.

Each information sheet introduces a career and gives students insight into the people, skills and work involved. They can be used to spark classroom conversations, support career exploration activities and help students consider how their interests and strengths could lead to a future in agriculture.

Your future could grow in agriculture

Agriculture needs curious thinkers, creative problem-solvers and people with all kinds of interests and skills. You don't have to come from a farming background to find your place in the industry.
