Description

Rural development is a process of improving the rural areas in terms of economy, society and culture. It includes economic activities that generate income for people living in villages, social services such as education and health care, infrastructures such as roads or electricity networks and cultural aspects like developing traditional arts.

Agricultural Engineering has been making significant contributions to rural development since the beginning of its history. For instance, agricultural engineers have designed machines that help farmers produce more crops with less labour. They also design processing plants that make it easier for farmers to bring their products to market without spoiling them along the way.

Rural Development in Agricultural Engineering: What Does it Mean for a Country?

The studies aim at training agricultural engineers in rural development capable of, due to their expertise gained, supervising production, distribution and regulation processes securing the optimal use of resources as well as organisation and management processes in connection to production and services.
