Department of Agricultural Economics



Agricultural economics originally applied the principles of economics to the production of crops and livestock — a discipline known as agronomics. Agronomics was a branch of economics that specifically dealt with land usage. It focused on maximizing the yield of crops while maintaining a good soil ecosystem. At FUM, what students focus on is a broader scope of the discipline. Agricultural economics today includes a variety of applied areas, having considerable overlap with conventional economics. The discipline includes multifarious areas of concentration such as econometrics, international development, community and rural development, food safety and nutrition, international trade, natural resource and environmental economics, consumer behavior and household economics, etc.

Economics is the study of resource allocation under scarcity. Agronomics, or the application of economic methods to optimizing the decisions made by agricultural producers, grew to prominence around the turn of the 20th century. The field of agricultural economics can be traced out to works on land economics. Henry Charles Taylor was the greatest contributor with the establishment of the Department of Agricultural Economics at Wisconsin.

The Dept. offers a program at the Bachelor's and Master's level.
