Training in agriculture is for both knowledge and skills for potential jobs in future. Future of agricultural jobs are difficult to assess on their potential. Agriculture in general is becoming global, multidisciplinary, and business like. Some trends I see are: Agriculture is becoming a large scale or operating as cooperatives. Increasing pressure to produce with lowering profit potential makes it difficult to sustain. Subsistence needs is also becoming important in decisions. Precision agriculture, agricultural business, molecular/genetic research, water technologies, Agricultural data science, Agronomy, Aquaponics, Nutrient science, and Agricultural communication are some emerging areas that show promise and will become more prominent in future of Agriculture. These dominant areas will create agricultural jobs and students and professionals prepared in more than one of these skills (Multidisciplinary) with innovative thinking to solve problems will be successful.

Dear Michael,Go through this link which is having complete information from world Bank over the years.Hopefully it will be use.

In India, we have Agricultural Research Service, Agricultural Officers in different banks, Block Development Officers, Gram Sevak, ICAR, ICMR, DRDO , BSA, ZSA etc., beside a large number of jobs under different agricultural universities and Krishi Vigyan Kendra's.

State Agricultural departments also

Thanks for the opinions

I do think that the bodies and organizations you mentioned will be still around 10 years from now and will be still hiring agricultural experts

But the question is what is the objectives and tasks that agricultural experts will be fulfilling in these organizations?

Mr. Timothy, I really think that the fields you mentioned are being upgraded day by day. I'm interested in the way all of these fields are cooperating to make agriculture less labor (and more expert) demanding.

In Mexico there is interest in the process of robotization and mechatronics in agriculture, these would be the jobs in the future, skills that modern farmers should acquire, I am the pioneer of the application of these in Mexican agriculture, getting the studies implemented As a mechatronic agricultural engineer, you can review the articles that I have published on my reserach gate page, if you require any extra information just contact me, the subject is for other interesting and vitally important for the developing countries, a warm greeting.

In India, certain Agricultural Universities are permitting to open n'number of Agricultural Colleges under them (in which, admission is just based on money) thus decreasing the actual value and demand of Agricultural graduates and creating a condition of surplus unemployed professionals after college.

Futuristic Agriculture Jobs will be more regarding cleaner production and precision agriculture.

Jobs which are merely repositories of knowledge will be replaced by machines with knowledge banks. Skills will continue to be required.

Dear Alabboud

I think we have to be honest and realistic enough in putting judgment on such complex issues. To begin with we need to qualify what we refer to the period of "future"; as future could mean the coming fifty, hundred, or any years to come. Second, we need to be more specific which part of the globe we are talking, since countries are heterogeneous in terms of their technological advancement, employment share of agriculture, and land resource potentials. Hence, we have to see it case by case.

Dear gebregziabher

Thanks for the reply, I actually put the year 2028 as a mile stone to begin with.

also such a discussion is open to any one from any country to share his visions.
