Agronomics, or agricultural economics, specifically focuses on optimizing and streamlining the methods by which food is produced and distributed. Jeff Hill, who is a licensed agriculture irrigation specialist and crop advisor shares how incredibly important it is that farmers, and quite simply, the general public, understand these basic concepts.
Agricultural economics is always focusing on improving the sustainability of land use. By implementing tools for optimizing land management, erosion prevention, pest management, and more, agronomists focus on a great deal of complex relationships that must work in harmony to create a healthy, balanced, and successful operation.
Agronomics also focuses on the real-life implications of decision-making and risks that happen at the farm level. With decreasing production levels, specialists aim to address and innovate these decisions to ensure that farmers are making the best choices regarding methodology, technology, and policies.
While agricultural economics have historically focused more on smaller-scale concepts, recently a priority has been placed on the over-arching concept of food consumption by analyzing the varied effects of pricing and the relationship between quality and consumer choices. Being a psychologically-driven area of the field, agronomists strive to understand the intricate relationship between what is being sold and what actually makes it home into the refrigerator. This also functions in the context of implementing new ways to bring more food to impoverished areas of the world where these systems can be interrupted or even entirely dysfunctional.
Jeff Hill is based in Clovis, California. He always looks forward to meeting new clients.
