Plants feed us, heal us, clothe us. They are fundamental to the planet’s health and function. How they are used can be controversial, impactful and life changing. As the world seeks to solve more and more environmental issues through plant innovation, the career possibilities are vast and often high paying. If you like science, nature, innovation, problem solving and doing things a bit differently, plant studies is a great fit for you.
