¡Dé rienda suelta al científico que lleva dentro! El uso de la biotecnología en la agricultura mejora las plantas, los animales y los microorganismos. Los profesionales de este campo suelen tener un gran interés y formación en cómo la ciencia puede modificar la composición genética de un organismo, lo que también se conoce como ingeniería genética.

Las profesiones de esta rama ayudan a que las plantas sean más nutritivas y los peces crezcan el doble de rápido. Incluso utilizan la biotecnología para resolver problemas mundiales. Esto incluye trabajar para aumentar el acceso del mundo a alimentos seguros y asequibles y a agua limpia. Los científicos e ingenieros de esta vía suelen trabajar juntos para investigar métodos de creación de combustible a partir de subproductos agrícolas y utilizan una serie de herramientas para comprender mejor la biología básica de la vida.

Floriculture/nursery landscape identification and forestry disorders career development events led me to have an interest in plant pests and diseases. My proficiency was in Diversified Horticulture and I won at the national level in the year of 2020. My proficiency was filled with 6 years of hard work growing plants hydroponically, aquaponically, and studying what variables effect their growth. I am now going to school to be a research plant pathologist in fungal/bacterial diseases. My current research consists of identifying different variations of alternaria in cabbage, broccoli, and kale by extracting DNA and running PCR using species specific primers. By competing in plant CDEs and working on my SAE, I found many of my interests and essentially what I want to do for the rest of my life.
FFA gave me the opportunity to explore agriculture and what it has to offer. I didn’t understand how impactful and vast agriculture careers are until I joined FFA. I am now perusing a bachelors in crop and soil science, then hopefully moving forward with a masters in plant pathology.
FFA, specifically through my experience in Agriscience Research in Plant Systems, exposed me to a broader range of career choices than what I had initially considered before joining FFA. Before my FFA experience, I had primarily considered returning home to farm, bur after learning about the opportunities available at the intersection of plant breeding and physiology, that has now become my primary interest. I am currently a PhD candidate in Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois with a career goal of becoming a plant breeder.
