Economics and Management of Agriculture and Forestry at Nanjing Agricultural University is an interdisciplinary social-science program that focuses on applying economic theory, management principles and quantitative analysis to the agricultural, forestry and rural development sectors. The discipline covers core topics such as agricultural and rural economics, agribusiness management, resource and environmental economics, agricultural marketing and finance, policy analysis, and sustainable development strategies. Students learn how economic forces and managerial decisions influence agricultural production systems, natural resource use, food supply chains, and rural livelihoods, with emphasis on efficiency, equity and environmental sustainability. Through a blend of theoretical coursework, case studies, market analysis and real-world projects, graduates gain the skills to address economic and managerial challenges in agriculture, forestry, agribusiness firms, government agencies and international development organizations. This prepares them for careers in agricultural policy, farm and enterprise management, rural development planning, agribusiness consulting, and research, as well as for further postgraduate studies in economics and management fields.
