Agro-ecological, food, and environmental transitions know no borders. Neither do we! Join us to learn about the challenges of agriculture, food, and the environment on an international scale. A real window into the world, this course will enable you to develop your knowledge and skills for international professions. Join the only 100% English-language engineering program in France, and immerse yourself in the multicultural atmosphere of our Rouen campus!

Agronomy is an understanding of the principles of plant and soil science and an application of these principles in the production of crops. Commercial sector careers include positions in agricultural consulting companies, agricultural seed or chemical companies, research and development with commercial companies, as well as farm and/or ranch management.

The Agronomy, Crop, and Soil Science Program provide excellent connections with local and international Agricultural companies researching the farm on campus and coordinating internship and employment opportunities throughout their industry network.

The Agronomy major provides broad training in the crop and soil sciences. Agronomy involves the science of producing and using plants in agriculture for food, feed, fuel, fiber, and land restoration. We offer a high-quality education and training experience for undergraduates to equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in pursuing well-paid and highly respected careers.

The main goal of the training in the specialty Agronomy (Field Breeding) is the training of highly qualified specialists with a broad profile for the production of plant products and management of agricultural production.

Agronomy is the branch of agriculture that deals with the study of plants, soils, and the environment. Agronomists work to develop methods to increase the production of food and fiber crops and to properly manage and sustain the soil. Agronomists are involved with research in plant breeding, tillage and cropping systems, weed control, pasture and rangeland management, soil fertility, animal waste use and management, biofuels, irrigation, and many other areas. The challenge for an agronomist is to use science to develop and sustain the food supply while conserving natural resources and protecting the environment. As an agronomy major, you'll be immersed in a broad array of courses and topics including botany, chemistry, genetics, cell biology, plant physiology, computer science, agricultural economics, entomology (the study of bugs), plant pathology (the study of plant diseases), and natural resource conservation. You'll learn all about the science behind farming and how to best control weeds, insect pests, and plant diseases.

With a Bachelor in Agronomy, students learn about crop production based on biological knowledge, discover and regulate the biological process, how to produce healthy crop products and learn about producing the high yield.

ATI is a great choice for students seeking degrees in agriculture, horticulture, environmental science, business, construction and hydraulics. ATI ranks #1 in the nation in the awarding of associate degrees in agriculture and related sciences (Community College Week’s Top 100, 2014).

Agricultural engineers (also known as biosystems engineers) combine math, science and engineering skills with creativity to design, manufacture and support a broad spectrum of machinery and structures used in the agriculture and food processing industries.

The Horticulture department carries out a 4-year program to educate students to become agricultural engineer on the open field, protected cultivation, breeding and post-harvest handling of horticultural crops. The program is composed of two years of basic compulsory courses on science and agriculture.

Feather River College started offering in the Fall of 2016 a bachelor's of science pilot program in equine and ranch management in cooperation with the California Community College Chancellor’s Office. This unique degree combines scientific agricultural ranch management courses with hands-on horse related disciplines that incorporate traditional and progressive performance-horse methods.

Crop and Soil Science students work on solving the most complex agricultural and natural resource problems faced in Oregon, our nation, and across the globe. If you want to help feed the people of Oregon, the United States and the world; or be part of a team exploring biofuels and bioproducts to increase energy independence in the United States; or practice cutting-edge gene research in crop plants or soil microbes; or use your soils knowledge to do remediation work on contaminated sites, the Department of Crop and Soil Science is where you should be.

We generate and apply knowledge about the plants that feed and benefit humankind. Agronomic crops are typically grown for grain to feed people and livestock, or are processed into products. Feed crops are grown specifically to meet the nutritional needs of livestock. Forage crops are grown for their stems, leaves, and other edible plant parts.
