Here Are the Best Agriculture Colleges on the Planet in 2021

It’s report card time again for the world’s best agriculture colleges, reports Growing Produce. Exceptional quality and consistency in academic performance, peer instruction, and real-world results will almost always net an honor roll ranking. Some higher learning institutions stand out above others, according to Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), which has just released its latest QS World University Ranking by Subject report.

Compiled and presented annually by the U.K.-based education marketing and networking company, the comprehensive listing is based on a methodology that measures academic standing, employer reputation, and research impact gathered from more than 300 universities across the globe covering 51 different disciplines. 2021 marks the ninth consecutive year the organization has produced rankings specifically for the field of Agriculture & Forestry.

Each of the subject rankings is calculated using four sources. Per QS, the first two of these are global surveys of academics and employers, which are used to assess institutions’ international reputation in each subject. The second two indicators assess research impact based on research citations per paper and h-index in the relevant subject. These are sourced from Elsevier’s Scopus research citations database.
