From the atmosphere to the earth, scientists in this field of study research the different areas that affect the well-being of the population and the world we live in. Whether it’s a food scientist who works to ensure the soil is healthy enough to produce quality products, or an environmental scientist working to eliminate various pollutants that could damage the soil, these professionals are all connected to cultivating an environment where both people and sustainable resources can thrive.
