Abstract: The new era of rural and agricultural development as well as regional growth has put forward higher demands on the practicality, comprehensiveness, and high quality of talent cultivation in the major of agricultural and forestry economics and management. The major of agricultural and forestry economics and management at Shihezi University has constructed a practice-oriented talent cultivation system based on the collaboration of government, industry, universities, and research institutes by building a “great ideological and political education” practice teaching framework, optimizing the practical curriculum system, introducing off-campus practice units and instructors, carrying out classified practice, and establishing a diversified evaluation system. This system is innovative in terms of multi-subject collaboration, stratified and classified training, all-round talent cultivation, and the integration of ideological and political education.
