Plant Systems
If you have a green thumb, this career pathway may be ideal for you. People who work in the Plant Systems pathway study plants and their growth.
This helps producers of food, feed and fiber crops continue to feed a growing population while conserving natural resources and maintaining the environment.
Individuals in this pathway also develop ways to improve the nutritional value of crops and the quality of seeds. They use genetic engineering to develop crops resistant to pests and drought.
