Agricultural engineering involves development of
monitoring systems to predict crop patterns according to
different weather forecasting.
Besides the government, many agro-based industries
employ graduates from agricultural engineering courses
as analysts to forecast crop and yield patterns.
Agricultural engineers work in various sectors such
as farming, forestry, food processing and more, on a
wide variety of projects. For example, some agricultural
engineers work to develop climate control systems
that increase the comfort and productivity of livestock
whereas others work to increase the storage capacity
and efficiency of refrigeration.
As we know, an agriculture engineer can take up many
different roles in the industry. Some of these roles are
