Welcome to the Department of Resource Economics, situated within the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources. We offer students, public officials, and the private sector with the education and knowledge necessary to make sound economic decisions about the production, processing, and distribution of agricultural products, the development of rural communities, and the use of natural resources.
Again, welcome to the Department, and please take the time to learn more!
