Marketing involves packaging, distribution, and sales of finished agriculture products to retailers and to the consumers.

Shipping, advertising, restaurants, grocery stores, lumber yards, etc.

Agriscience Defined -

Agriscience Defined - The application of scientific principles and new technologies relating to agriculture.

The Basic Sciences

The Basic Sciences– Biology– Earth Science– Chemistry– Biochemistry– Physics

The Applied Sciences

Applied Sciences– Horticulture– Animal Science– Agronomy– Agriculture Mechanization– Aquaculture– Integrated Pest Management– Irrigation

Currently people in the united states only spend 14 cents of every dollar they earn on food.

Food in the United State is cheaper than any other place in the world.

Advances in agriscience are the reason!!!
