What is Agronomy you ask? Agronomists are involved in a wide range of roles, but are more often than not best described as “crop doctors”. In general, an agronomist is concerned with the health and well-being of crops used for food production, biofuel, medicine and land reclamation. Agronomists conduct experiments (on-farm) to develop the best on-farm practices to improve the quality and production levels of crops in a sustainable manner.
