What is Agronomy?
Agronomy is the science and practice of crop production to produce food, feed, fiber, and fuel. Agronomists need to understand plants, soils, insects, microorganisms, climate and how they interact with each other within agroecosystems. Agronomists work every day to improve crop production practices, breed improved crop varieties, develop improved pest management practices and minimize the impact of agriculture on the environment.
The Canadian Society of Agronomy is a non-profit society of agronomy professionals promoting the science and profession of agronomy and facilitating linkages among members.
