Agronomy Engineering
This program offers comprehensive training that combines theoretical, practical, and technological knowledge, preparing our student community to face current and future challenges in the agricultural sector with a sustainable, innovative, and visionary approach.
The program trains professionals capable of transforming agri-food systems through innovation, sustainability, and technology, combining practical experience, applied research, and projects with social and environmental impact to face the challenges of the agricultural sector at a global level.
Our goal is to contribute to building a more prosperous world with greater food security, through sustainable agri-food and nutrition systems that promote community well-being and environmental conservation.
Agronomy Engineering covers multiple knowledge areas, including Animal Science, focused on cattle, fish, and poultry production; Plant Science, aimed at plant production, propagation, and protection; as well as soil management and conservation, sustainable use of water resources, and efficient use of agricultural machinery.
aIn addition, the program offers three tracks that allow each student to specialize according to their interests and professional goals:
- Crop Production, focused on maximizing efficiency and sustainability in crop systems, mitigating climate and socioeconomic risks, and evaluating business opportunities in plant-based agri-food systems.
- Animal Production, distinguished by its focus on optimizing livestock production through innovative solutions, sustainable decision-making, and the application of technologies to improve efficiency and profitability in livestock systems.
- Agricultural Biotechnology, characterized by applying advanced biotechnological tools to innovate in agricultural and livestock production, incorporating applied research and scientific solutions that increase competitiveness and sustainability in the sector.
