Department of Economics and Rural Development

Agriculture still constitutes a major activity for many citizens of developing countries and occupies a big share in the countries' economy. Whereas efforts to mecanize agriculture are being made in many developing countries, it is obvious that these initiatives will take some time. Furthermore, in the foreseable future, agriculture will continue to be the main source of foreign currency for a number of developing countries. The department of economics and rural development intends to challenge students to look at agriculture not only as a means for survival, but as an opportunity for changing the economy of many rural areas.
