The development history of Jiangxi Agricultural University is indeed brilliant. It originated from Jiangxi Higher Agricultural School and was founded in 1905. It went through the period of National Chung Cheng University, Jiangxi Agricultural College and Jiangxi University of Production and Labor. Especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been a national key university with a long history, featuring agriculture and biotechnology. At this point, if we see that the school was approved as a national key university in 1978, we can see that its construction status in the country is very high.
However, the turning point of the school should occur after the implementation of the 985 and 2 1 1 projects. As one of the national key universities, I missed 2 1 1 or 985 engineering university. At that time, 2 1 1 key universities were awarded according to seven geographical regions: northeast, north, east, south, central and southwest. 2 1 1 The loss of the status of key construction has greatly affected the national financial support, the level of enrollment and the reputation of the school, and also led to the serious loss of talents such as the quality of students and teachers.
In addition, the congenital deficiency in the field of agricultural economy, coupled with the rapid development of secondary and tertiary industries after the reform and opening up, the decline in the proportion and status of primary production, and the relative unpopularity of agricultural majors, many candidates are also one of the weak external factors of the school.
