A Presentation for Middle & High Schoolers

In Ventura and Santa Barbara County, agriculture is a billion dollar industry. As the role of STEM becomes more and more integral to the progress and vitality of our communities, so does the role it plays in our local agriculture industry. STEM-related careers in agriculture offer significant and unique opportunities for our students to engage in areas such as innovative scientific research, problem-solving technology, and 21st century engineering. Our STEM Career Pathways in Agriculture presentation seeks to educate students about these opportunities and engage them in the ever-evolving world of agriculture!
