The Biosystem Engineer is a professional able to design systems focused on sustainable production by using innovative technologies in the agribusiness chain, contributing to food, material and energy production, focusing on economical and social development.

Biosystems Engineering is a new area of knowledge, created due to the technological evolution in farm production processes. There is a great field of action in Brazil because most of farming process and Animal Science technology is imported. As working field, areas of infrastructural engineering, control and automation, technology, planning, and management can be highlighted. Besides being tied to Agrarian Sciences, Biosystems Engineering approaches non­traditional knowledge to the area, while introducing contents related to modern resources in biosensors, electronics, automation and biofuels, among others, emphasizing entrepreneurship and technological innovations representing deep changes in the farm production environment.
