Hi Rupa, The career scope for students of B.Sc agriculture is quite ample these days. With the required qualification in addition to the sufficient wok experience, it is possible for aspirants to get good jobs. Those who desire to continue their education into the advanced levels can do so as well. Many areas are available for a person to choose from if they wish to go for a career in agriculture.

There are many specializations available for a person to choose from. Career Opportunities after B.Sc Agriculture Jobs can be got by students of B.Sc agriculture with firms of the private or public sectors. With public sector firms, one can get employed as Agricultural Research Scientist (ARS). But to get employed into this position, it will be needed for applicants to write an admission test. Job opportunities are also available for applicants as teachers. They can write the ARS-NET exam and get employed with colleges as lecturers.

Hello, The amount of agricultural output is expected to grow till 2030, says a report by the Food and Agriculture organization. With a projected growth of 1.4% in the aggregate crop production worldwide, the demand for supplies and solutions from industries working in the periphery of the agricultural sector is expected to rise. However, this does not necessarily mean that land under cultivation will rise dramatically. If anything, the agriculture industry will have to find ways to optimize productivity from a given piece of land as the urban sprawl occurs at the cost of arable land. This lays a solid foundation for the growth of the smart irrigation market. Companies in the market are helping farmers maximize yields through judicious usage of water. Smart irrigation is a relatively new concept in the agriculture sector. It entails the controlled use of water by scheduling the irrigation cycle at specific times of the day by using sensors and water flow controllers. By automating the run times of the irrigation system, it is possible to not only curb the amount of water used on a field, but also make sure that plants receive precise levels of water. There are many benefits that farmers can expect when they invest in a smart irrigation system. Some of these include automatic shutoff of the irrigation system when it is raining, increase in the amount of water supplied when temperatures soar beyond a specified limit, and considerable savings in the amount of water used for irrigation. In order to achieve these functions, a myriad of sensors are used in smart irrigation systems. These include soil moisture sensors, ambient humidity sensors, and temperature sensors. Flow meters and other network elements are the other important components in the market.

Hence, he/she will have a great career opportunity and it is a great scope oriented field. All the best.
