Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) applies scientific and engineering principles to production systems involving agriculture, food, environment, and energy; natural resources; environmental protection and control for plants, animals, and humans; and related biological systems. ABE engineers develop technologies and apply management strategies to increase agricultural productivity, generate renewable energy, and provide a sustainable environment.
