The EAT Pathway offers students a dynamic, hands-on learning experience that explores the future of agriculture through science, sustainability, and innovation. Using the nationally recognized CASE curriculum, students engage in real-world investigations in plant science, animal and plant biotechnology, and environmental systems.
From studying soil health and plant physiology to conducting lab-based research in biotechnology, students apply advanced science and technology to solve real agricultural challenges. Alongside rigorous academics, students build transferable skills such as teamwork, data analysis, communication, and problem-solving. Through industry-aligned projects, internships, and exposure to careers in agriscience, students graduate prepared to lead in fields like sustainable agriculture, horticulture, biotechnology, and environmental science.
The EAT Pathway empowers students to understand and shape the role of agriculture in feeding the world, protecting the planet, and driving innovation.
