Agricultural Economics

Agricultural Economics, within Economic Geography, studies how agricultural practices and resources are influenced by location and economic factors. It examines the relationship between farming activities, land use, and the environment, as well as how government policies, market demands, and economic conditions affect food production and distribution. By analyzing these dynamics, it helps understand how agricultural systems develop in different regions and the impact on local economies, livelihoods, and sustainability. Ultimately, it seeks to improve agricultural efficiency and support rural development while addressing challenges such as climate change and food security.
