But it is called the most wronged 985, because many people would rather go to 2 1 1 or other schools than come to this school. Mainly because this school is an agricultural and forestry college, most people prefer to go to that kind of financial college or normal college. The word agriculture and forestry is very unpopular.
The school's predecessor was the National Northwest Agricultural and Forestry College, which was founded in 1934. It is the earliest higher agricultural and forestry education institution in northwest China. Since its birth, the school is closely related to the fate of the country and the nation, and bears the historical responsibility of building the northwest, developing agriculture and cultivating talents.
1In September, 1999, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council merged the former Northwest Agricultural University, Northwest Forestry College, Institute of Soil and Water Conservation of Ministry of Water Resources of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Northwest Water Conservancy Institute of Ministry of Water Resources, Shaanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shaanxi Academy of Forestry and Northwest Botany Institute of China Academy of Sciences to form Northwest A&F University.
It is an important mission of the school to implement the mechanism of joint construction of ministries, provinces and institutes to support and lead the development of modern agriculture in arid and semi-arid areas.
