Agriculture Biotechnology School: University of Saskatchewan Faculty: Faculty of Agriculture and Bioresources Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Agriculture, General Biotechnology Description: Biotechnology includes a range of modern techniques that are used in many types of agricultural research. Biotechnology can also be used to directly improve agriculture and our food by improving crop varieties, crop inputs, animal breeds and animal health while ensuring the safety and quality of our food. A Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with a minor in Biotechnology can take students in many directions. Potential breakthroughs mean great leaps in improving the human condition. Rapid expansion of technology means people are required to understand and deal with not only the science and research aspects of biotechnology but also the sociological, commercial and legal aspects. Biotechnology will soon affect every area of our lives and economy. A wide range of people will be required to manage growth in this emerging industry. After a first year of general courses, students have the option of specializing in one of the major areas in Agriculture & Bioresources–Animal & Poultry Science, Food & Bioproduct Sciences, Agricultural Economics, Plant Science or Soil & Environmental Science–with a minor in Biotechnology.
