  6. Possible careers related to photosynthesis • Food scientist, food science technician: Using and modifying photosynthestic pigments in the food industry adding flavour, colouring, vitamins and antioxidants. Development of new plant-based foods. • Plant biochemist: research into maximizing the efficiency of photosynthesis in agriculture or development artificial photosynthetic systems for industry. • Agricultural scientist / manager: Development of biofuels and agricultural management, focusing on factors affecting crop growth, maximizing yield for developing countries. • Requirements: • BSc, MSc or PhD in Plant Biology, including the study of topics such as plant physiology, ecology, botany, plant molecular biology, bioinformatics, plant breeding, plant cell biology and field or laboratory research.
