WHAT IS AGRICULTURE, FOOD, & NATURAL RESOURCES?

The Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources cluster is largely involved with cultivating and refining what the planet has to offer and creating goods that are consumable. There are many resources that are needed to support day to day living, so this cluster may be broader than most would think. Not only does this cluster include the farmers who provide us with food, but also loggers, miners and the mechanics who keep their machinery up and running. The Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources cluster has seen a recent revolution in terms of the level of automation utilized in the field. Whereas previously this type of work would take a team of laborers requiring minimal education, today many tasks are completely more quickly by a smaller team of individuals educated on how to use the current technology.
