Program overview
Agricultural and Forestry Economics and Management might sound a bit niche, but it's actually very down-to-earth—simply put, it's about studying how to make agriculture more profitable, rural areas more developed, and farmers happier. This major is quite distinctive in Chinese universities because China is a large agricultural country, and many top universities (such as Renmin University of China, Zhejiang University, and China Agricultural University) have strong faculty and projects. Core courses include Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Agricultural Economics, Resource and Environmental Economics, Agricultural Product Marketing, Agricultural Policy, and Rural Development Studies. You'll also learn data analysis methods, such as using statistical software to process agricultural survey data. It's suitable for students who are interested in agriculture, rural areas, and the environment, while also enjoying economic and management thinking. If you care about food security, sustainable development, and rural revitalization, this major will resonate with you.
