An agriculturist, agriculturalist, agrologist, or agronomist (abbreviated as agr.) is a professional in the science, practice, and management of agriculture and agribusiness.[1] It is a regulated profession in Canada, India, the Philippines, the United States, and the European Union. Other names used to designate the profession include agricultural scientist, agricultural manager, agricultural planner, agriculture researcher, or agriculture policy maker.

The primary role of agriculturists are in leading agricultural projects and programs, usually in agribusiness planning or research for the benefit of farms, food, and agribusiness-related organizations.[2] Agriculturists usually are designated in the government as public agriculturists serving as agriculture policymakers or technical advisors for policy making.[3] Agriculturists can also provide technical advice for farmers and farm workers such as in making crop calendars and workflows to optimize farm production, tracing agricultural market channels,[4] prescribing fertilizers and pesticides to avoid misuse,[5] and in aligning for organic accreditation[6] or the national agricultural quality standards.[7]

Preparation of technical engineering designs and construction for agriculture meanwhile are reserved for agricultural engineers.[8] Agriculturists may pursue environmental planning and focus on agricultural and rural planning.[9]
