The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with specialisation in Soil Science at UFH develops graduates equipped to manage South Africa's most fundamental agricultural resource — its soils. Students study soil formation, fertility, chemistry, and land management within the context of South Africa's diverse farming regions, including the Eastern Cape's mixed agricultural landscape. With growing pressures from climate change, land degradation, and food security challenges, soil scientists play a critical role in ensuring South Africa's agricultural land remains productive for future generations.
