Now, more than ever, food has become
a central topic of conversation around its
importance in local and national economic
discussions, reinforcing the nutrition value
it provides or shared through social media
as people are passionate about food’s
origins, how it’s produced, and the sense
of community food provides when shared
with family and friends. However, our
team at AgCareers.com remains focused
on the human aspect of who is involved
in bringing this food from the farm to the
table.
The human resource landscape
continues to evolve in the agriculture
and food sector as the population
demographics change, paving a way for
more diversity in meeting the required
skills and expertise across the food
system. We are thankful to be part of
agriculture and food, an industry essential
to feeding the world that perseveres even
in challenging times.
We have creatively grown this Ag
& Food Career Guide for 16 years,
enhancing it each year to remain relevant
in the current job market and educational

and food industry. What started as a small
print publication has developed into a
robust magazine and digital flipbook with
online enhancements. We fill the guide
with engaging content relevant to the
present employment marketplace and job
seeker advice.
The Ag & Food Career Guide covers
topics, including advice every young

businesses throughout the magazine;
