Agricultural Economics

Agricultural Economics is the science and art required to identify, define, and analyze economic problems affecting the performance of the industry sectors that rely upon the agri-resource base for feedstocks (i.e. food, fibre, fuel and other agri-based bio-products and services including environmental goods and services.) Agricultual economics is applied, at both the micro and macro levels, to research, analysis and decision-making in academia, industry, and government. The discipline of agricultural economics (including, among other areas of specialty, agricultural marketing and trade, agricultural policy, agribusiness management, agricultural development, and resource economics) is necessary for government, business and academe to contribute to the efficient, sustainable and profitable use of the agri-resource base for the benefit of this and future generations.
