Economics Students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Burapha University, Learn to Adapt to Climate Change through Sustainable Agriculture Concepts
The Department of Economics recognizes the importance of connecting economic knowledge and theory to practical applications to foster lifelong learning. Therefore, the department has organized a study visit to KUBOTA FARM, in collaboration with Siam Kubota Corporation Co., Ltd., allowing students from the Bachelor of Economics program to participate in activities and visit the site. In the second semester of the 2024 academic year, these students will enroll in the course 25722164: Agricultural Economics. This visit will enable students to learn from model agricultural entrepreneurs and gain insight into modern agricultural innovations and technologies. This hands-on experience is designed to inspire students and enhance their real-world learning. Consequently, the department believes the study visit on Thursday, February 6, 2025, is an essential opportunity to enrich students’ understanding and skills in agricultural economics.
