Immigration channel for agricultural professionals

[mtraju]

Hello,

Would like to know about the possible routes of federal immigration for academically and professionally qualified agricultural professionals.

Will "Biologists and related scientists" include agricultural professionals?
What about self-employment?
Is farm business and attractive option for Canadian immigrants?

Thank you for a reply in advance.
