Agriculture Education is a systematic program of instruction available to students desiring to learn about the science, business, and technology of plant and animal production and/or the environmental and natural resources systems. Agriculture Education prepares students for successful careers and a lifetime of informed choices. Agriculture Education envisions a world where all people value and understand the vital role of agriculture, food, fiber, and natural resources systems in advancing personal and global well-being. Future Farmers of America – FFA – is integral to the instruction of Agriculture Education .

Agribusiness Systems Animal Systems Biotechnology Systems Environmental Service Systems Food Products and Processing Systems Natural Resource Systems Plant Systems Power, Structural and Technical Systems
—the study of business principles, including management, marketing and finance, and their application to enterprises engaged in Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources
the study of animal systems, including life processes, health, nutrition, genetics, management and processing, through the study of small animals, aquaculture, livestock, dairy, horses and/or poultry
the study of data and techniques of applied science for the solution of problems concerning living organisms
the study of systems, instruments and technology used in waste management and their influence on the environment
—the study of product development, quality assurance, food safety, production, sales and service, regulation and compliance, and food service within the food science industry
the study of the management of soil, water, wildlife, forests and air as natural resources
—the study of plant life cycles, classifications, functions, structures, reproduction, media and nutrients, as well as growth and cultural practices, through the study of crops, turf grass, trees and shrubs and/or ornamental plants
the study of agricultural equipment, power systems, alternative fuel sources and precision technology, as well as woodworking, metalworking, welding and project planning for agricultural structures
