Is there a future in studying agriculture?

Learning agriculture has a bright future.

First, the employment direction

With the country's emphasis on agriculture, the employment prospects of agronomy specialty are getting better and better. Graduates can generally work in scientific research, production and management institutions such as agriculture, gardens and plants, and can also work in soil and water conservation, desert management, gardens, wildlife and nature reserves.

Second, the social status quo

Agronomy is a traditional discipline in the field of agricultural science, and it is the primary responsibility to solve the problem of "eating and dressing" for human beings. Compared with traditional agriculture, modern agriculture is "armed" with biotechnology and information technology. Machine farming and aerial seeding have replaced traditional manual farming. At present, because there are not many candidates who apply for agronomy every year, agronomy talents are still relatively scarce.

Third, employment prospects.

Agronomy, as one of the sunrise industries in China, has made a major breakthrough in rural agriculture in recent years under the impetus of the Belt and Road Initiative and the policy of rejuvenating agriculture through science and technology. With the sustainable development of rural economy, the market is in urgent need of a large number of agricultural scientific and technological talents, and agronomy, as a discipline to train high-level talents in agricultural production, will be paid more and more attention, and its development prospect is still considerable.

The main introduction, training objectives and main courses of agricultural specialty are as follows:

I. Main introduction

Agronomy (agricultural science) is a science that studies the fields related to crop production, including the law of crop growth and development and its relationship with external environmental conditions, pest control, soil and nutrition, planting system, genetic breeding and other fields.

Second, the training objectives

This major trains senior scientific and technological talents who have the basic theories, knowledge and skills of crop production, crop genetics and breeding, seed production and management, and can engage in agronomy-related technology and design, popularization and development, operation and management, teaching and scientific research in agriculture and other relevant departments or units.

Third, the main courses

The main courses include plant physiology and biochemistry, applied probability statistics, genetics, field experiment design, agricultural ecology, crop cultivation and tillage, breeding, seed science, agricultural economic management, agricultural extension, plant diseases and insect pests, etc.
