What is agronomy?

When it comes to agronomy, many people think of countryside, farmers and farming. This is actually a misunderstanding of agricultural colleges and agronomy majors. Let's talk about the current agricultural colleges.

First of all, agricultural colleges and universities have now developed into comprehensive universities, offering many other majors besides agronomy. For example, the majors offered by China Agricultural University cover agriculture, engineering, science, economics, management, law and literature. Among them, the most popular majors are biology and food, which is quite different from the traditional agriculture, right? In fact, the biology major in agricultural colleges not only has a long history, strong teachers and less fierce competition, which is not ideal for the college entrance examination, but it is an excellent choice for candidates who are interested in developing in the field of biology.

Secondly, if you choose to major in agronomy, you can also take a double degree or minor in other majors in the university. Take China Agricultural University as an example. The school implements a double-degree minor system, with double-degree majors and minor majors in business administration, marketing and English, allowing students to study the above majors in their spare time when they have enough time to major. Therefore, as long as candidates have a strong interest in learning and perseverance, they can take other majors.

Let's talk about agronomy. Agronomy majors mainly include plant production, forest resources, forest production, animal production, animal medicine and aquatic products. From the study of micro-molecular cells to the management of macro-agricultural industry, it is the scope of agricultural professional research. There are also many interdisciplinary subjects such as agriculture and forestry economy, agricultural resources and environment, agricultural building environment and energy engineering, and candidates have a wide choice.

Agronomy is very close to other majors, such as animal medicine. Students can master some basic theories, pathogenic factors and the law of disease occurrence and development of basic veterinary medicine, preventive medicine and clinical medicine by studying professional courses such as basic veterinary medicine and preventive veterinary medicine, and can prevent, diagnose and treat animal diseases. Veterinary specialty is becoming more and more popular in today's society, which undoubtedly provides many opportunities for students' future employment and entrepreneurship.

Nutrition and health products in daily life, such as bee products and spirulina, are all contributions in the field of agronomy. At the beginning of the reform and opening-up, many of the earliest researchers who made a fortune were engaged in research in the field of agronomy. Yuan Longping, the famous "father of hybrid rice", not only won many honors such as the first National Highest Science and Technology Award, but also went down in history for his outstanding contribution.

In fact, the global financial crisis has little impact on the employment of agricultural graduates. "Food is the most important thing for the people", and people can't help eating the unpalatable things, can they? Look at COFCO, the world's top 500 food companies, and McDonald's, the world's number one fast food brand. Which one is not the stage for these graduates to display their fists and feet in the future?

Finally, talk about voluntary admission in agricultural colleges. Many provinces and cities have issued relevant policies to encourage students to apply for agricultural colleges.
