WHAT
IS AGRONOMY?
Even if you don't know exactly what agronomy is, you live with
it every day! The science of agronomy brings the research of
plants and soils together into one field. Soil is the substance
that plants grow in (you might know it as dirt!) Scientists who
study agronomy are called agronomists. Agronomists are
interested in learning about soils and the plants that live in
them so that we will have food to eat as well as a clean
environment that will last forever. From the milk you drink to
the vegetables you eat, from the ethanol-based gas in your car
to the grains used to feed chicken and cattle, and from the
grass on the soccer field to the natural fibers of the clothing
you wear and the medicines you consume, all are products of
agronomy. Agronomy Feeds the World!
