Traditionally, the career prospects of a horticulturist would be limited to designing and garden-related jobs, but because of expanding technology, they are now required in several other fields too. For example, genetic engineering has advanced horticultural technology and made it possible to grow better produce and in places where they would not grow before. This gives rise to a whole industry related to export and research. Horticulturists can work in research, in actively growing genetically engineered plants and caring for them, in lab trials and experiments, etc. Jobs are available in the private sector and the public sector, domestically and internationally.
Since the food and nutrition industry has also expanded, horticulturists are invited to join the food industry and contribute with their valuable knowledge. More and more people are leaning towards plant-based lifestyles and the market for plant-based food and nutrition is ever-expanding. This i
