| Description: | Crop scientists contribute to global food security by increasing local and global food production, developing new crop varieties, and protecting plants from disease and environmental stresses. Discover alternatives to traditional cropping systems and learn to improve the quality and nutrition of crops that feed the world.
Crop Science is the study of agricultural issues and challenges, including
- resource use consistent with sustainable production of food, feed, fibre and fuel
- production, processing and marketing of high quality food and non-food products
- research
- development and implementation of innovative and efficient production
- processing and marketing systems.
Crop Science integrates a broad range of disciplines, including genetics, pathology, crop quality and biotechnology, leading to the development of superior varieties of horticulture and field crops.
