Agronomy is the science of crop production and soil management, leading to improvements in crop yield and quality.

Environmental challenges, production of biofuels, and the growing demand for major food crops like wheat and rice, make agriculture and crop science a vital subject for our future well-being. Students will learn about the science, production and  management of crops, from genes and cells through to fields, farms and the development of future crops from subject experts who are active researchers in the most rapidly developing area of agriculture and agri- business.
