According to the United States government and industry projections, the agricultural and food sectors supported about 22.1 million jobs in 2022, and growth is expected. Those exploring agriculture as a possible career field can lookto these unique roles.

Entrepreneurs, known as “agripreneurs” within the industry, are the go-getters who are helping to redefine the agricultural sector. These people develop plant-based products or ag-tech startups, combining creativity with agricultural knowledge and business development. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce says the agriculture and food industries contributed $1.53 trillion to the U.S. economy in 2023, and agripreneurs are a rising part of that equation who are fueling innovation.
