Agrobiology

Agrobiology is the study of biology as it relates to agriculture. This icludes all of the lifeforms and life processes that go into the growth of food and supplies for sentient life.

Agrobiology camps were set up on Bajor in the years following the Cardassian withdrawal from the occupation of Bajor, in order to help the Bajorans learn how to live off their ravaged planet, with the goal of making the world as fertile as it was before the environmental damage of the Cardassian mining operations.

In late 2371 a Federation agrobiology camp on Bajor was the scene of a dramatic showdown when a secret Obsidian Order strike team landed nearby in order to recover a temporal disruptor that was sealed in a nearby mine. The chroniton subatomic particle flux from the released temporal device caused ripples in time that caused several alternate timelines to form, as well as a massive radiation release that caused sickness across the camp.
