Hello aspirant,

I hope that you are doing absolutely great.

With reference to your above mentioned query, I would like to tell you that all the courses are good in BSc and all of them are available for wide job opportunities in future but it totally depends upon your interest on which course you choose from.

According to my opinion I would suggest you to go with Bsc in Food and technology as it has much wider scope than bsc agriculture and Horticulture in terms of placements, researches as it is a research oriented field, academics and good career opportunities.

Candidates who are interested in plants, agriculture and technology must opt for horticulture science. For those who are unaware about horticulture science, it is the plant science that incorporates science and aesthetics of plants. The course, horticulture science is the science and art of producing edible vegetables, flowers, fruits, herbs, and ornamental plants, improving and commercializing them.

To make it more clear, Horticulture is a sub-part of agriculture which deals with the development of intensively cultivated food and decorative/ornamental plants. Science and art are used extensively in the development and distribution of crops, mainly vegetables, for consumption by masses. The horticulture crops are diverse; they include vegetables, fruits, decorative plants, etc.

WHEREAS

Food technology is a field of science that deals with the techniques involved in the production of food, both organic and inorganic. The techniques of food productions included in the food technology course are production, preservation, processing, quality management, packaging, labelling, and the distribution of food products. It is among the most rapidly expanding areas of science and technology.

Food technology, which is a branch of food processing , is one of the emerging technologies that boost food product quality product availability. Candidates who pursue food technology courses such as B.Tech, M.Tech, B.Sc. or M.Sc can find lucrative job opportunities in domains such as catering, restaurants, food processing companies, and hospitality management.

I hope that this will help.

Dear Student ,

It totally depends on your interest , i.e. if you are willing to go for Agriculture sectors and having interest in development and variation of crops  , then you may choose B.Sc agriculture ,

Horticulture is nothing but a part of agriculture , it's about cultivating plants .

Food technology is all about preservation, processing, packaging, distribution, and use of safe food.

Now a days , all of the sectors are equally important based on the current scenario as well as the demand of people on daily basis .

The average salary is on or average same for each course .

Hope this helps !
