Program Overview
Economics - The scientific study of choices in regard to the alternative uses of scarce resources to satisfy wants. So what does that mean? It means that economists study the needs of individuals and society and work to find the best methods of sharing and distributing these resources. The demand for food and agricultural products domestically and world-wide is growing, and as such the need for economic understanding of the demand for food and the supply of food is crucial. You will be studying economic factors and developing solutions related to these types of issues.

At NSAC, the Agricultural Economics program is designed to help you develop professional decision making skills which can be applied to various levels of economic management in the agriculture and food industry, government and teaching.
