It's truly insane how unsustainable modern industrial agriculture is. I'm hoping to dedicate my career towards sustainable agriculture somehow. Soil health is planetary health.
Take a soil science or agronomy degree. There are tons of old pedologists retiring.
Ah, I've already finished my master's in engineering. I'm hoping to get into making tools for making regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, etc. less labor-intensive and thus more cost-competitive. Good suggestion for others only just starting their educations, though!
