Texas is one of the top three states in the nation in value of agricultural products produced, with over $11 billion in sales at the farm level. As with all aspects of our society and economy, the agricultural sector is undergoing substantial changes as it is impacted by globalization, technological change, and changing governmental policies. The undergraduate programs within the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics respond to the needs of this important sector of our economy.
