Abstract

This review paper evaluates the integration of sustainable agriculture curricula into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and its implications for student engagement, skill acquisition, and long-term career outcomes. As global priorities shift toward sustainability and climate resilience, embedding agricultural literacy within STEM education promotes interdisciplinary learning and fosters innovation in food systems, environmental stewardship, and green technology. The paper explores the pedagogical frameworks that support sustainability education, the role of experiential and project-based learning in linking theory with practice, and how exposure to sustainable agriculture concepts can shape students’ career trajectories in agri-tech, environmental science, and renewable energy sectors. Through a synthesis of recent empirical studies and educational models, the review highlights best practices, barriers to curriculum adoption, and strategies for aligning educational policy with industry needs. The findings underscore that early integration of sustainable agriculture within STEM not only enhances critical thinking and systems-based problem-solving but also cultivates a workforce prepared to address the complex challenges of sustainable development.

Keywords: Sustainable Agriculture, STEM Education, Curriculum Integration, Environmental Literacy, Career Development, Interdisciplinary Learning.
