Agronomist Resume

Raising more food from the same amount of land can be possible only by consulting an agronomist. Agronomists liaise between farmers and crop scientists and assist in large crop production and maintaining quality. Their work can vary depending on the role and it mainly includes examining the soil, checking for crop diseases, or insects, and giving measures to prevent the same. Agronomists are professionals who are expected to have a sound knowledge of biology, genetics, earth science, chemistry, ecology, and economics.
