A pharmaceuticals lab worker, a botanist, an agricultural scientist, an agronomist, an agricultural engineer; there are many careers in Agrifood industries that need science minded people - like you!

What can I do now? Study science and maths at school, look for some casual work at a lab, volunteer for field work, visit a CSIRO establishment, do a science assignment on agriculture.

Looking for inspiration!  Have a look at this!

Insects and parasites have had an enormous impact on the environment, human health and world economies for many centuries. There are more species of insect on Earth than any other animal and many are of direct importance to humans as pests, carriers of disease, pollinators, nutrient cyclers, sources of new bioactive compounds and as indicators of environmental change.
