Grads With Their Environmental Science Degree Move Into Green Careers With Online Education Program Skills
There are a number of specialties inside the world of food science. Three of the main sub-disciplines can easily be defined by what they work on. They are Soil, Plant and Animal Scientists.
All three disciplines have one goal in common; to improve the knowledge of food production. They usually work for food corporations, institutes of higher learning or some form of government. Some food scientists engage in basic research, discovering new food sources. Others analyze food to determine the nutritional levels and to determine harmful or undesirable additives. They also develop ways to process, package and store food according to industry and government regulations. Some even do research into cooking and preparation. Many also work hand in hand with environmental scientists these days.
As one can imagine, a soil scientist works – pardon the pun – from the ground up. They examine the earth too, for everything from how to help clean up Brownfield and Superfund sites to utilizing crop rotation to obtain maximum vegetation yield. This means they don’t only have to study their share of biology, ecology and chemistry, but have a keen understanding of topological subjects such as geography.
Plant scientists specialize in flora and food-yielding crops. They are additionally known as crop scientists or agronomists. They focus on crop yield, nutritional value, plant diseases and parasites among correspondingly associated subjects. A popular arena of study these days is to return to the work of past greats such as Darwin and Mendel on genetics. Another new popular area of study is applying biotech to plant production.
This leaves animal scientists, who focus on everything that sits on the top of the food pyramid. It should be noted they are not veterinarians, but disease is part of their milieu. They also look at such things as the effect of steroids on not only yield, but effects on consumption, genetics, breeding and often are also employed as health and farm inspectors.
Like Agricultural and Food Scientists, anyone interested in entering these fields should start with an on campus or online university that offers a solid four year program in the environmental, life, or biological sciences. One might also check with a college career counselor about the university’s post-grad program. Post-grad is where one specializes in one of these three disciplines, and if one can streamline a six year curriculum, that’s better.
Salaries are dependent on which of the three disciplines one specializes in, as well as whether one works in the public or private sector. Soil and plant scientists working for the government average just under $80,000 a year. Animal scientists, in the same arena, do slightly under $105,000. By comparison, when it’s in the private sector, animal scientists earned slightly over $55,000 and plant and soil do slightly over $58,000.
It should always be remembered that even though the specializations are different, all are considered food scientists. Many students with their environmental health degree will move into other green tech fields and distance learning course programs will provide the tools they need to succeed.
