The value of agriculture-related degrees cannot be underestimated. No other industry can feed the world's population that is growing at a rate where we cannot produce enough food for the number of people. According to research, (Feedstuffs, October 26, 2009) our food production must double by 2050. To do that, graduates in degree programs such as agriculture, horticulture and animal science are needed. According to the latest data from AgCareers.com, 81% of jobs in the ag industry require education beyond high school, and almost half require at least a bachelor's degree.
