If you want to have a definite career in the field then I would recommend you to go for Agriculture over Forestry because in general the scope of jobs in the genre is more defined in Agriculture compared to that of Forestry. Also in government sectors more jobs are openned for agricultural graduates. In terms of research also agriculture is at a good hype. So it would be better for you to go for Agriculture over Forestry.
