Agricultural and Resource Economics

Agricultural and Resource Economics is a field that studies how agricultural practices and natural resources are managed and allocated. It examines the economic aspects of farming, land use, and environmental sustainability, analyzing how decisions impact food production, resource conservation, and overall economic health. This discipline helps policymakers, farmers, and communities understand the trade-offs and benefits of various practices, aiming to promote efficient use of resources while supporting agricultural productivity and environmental stewardship. Ultimately, it connects economic theory to real-world issues related to agriculture and resource management.
