Hello,
As per britannica,the definition of agricultural economcia is as follows:
Agricultural economics, study of the allocation, distribution, and utilization of the resources used, along with the commodities produced, by farming.
scope of agricultural economics can also be analysed on the political aspect. Self sufficiency in food produce can reduce foreign dependence fro food supply and raw materials , specially in times of crisis. There is a large scope of agri. economics in various factors of production also viz. land, labour, capital, organization etc..There is a very good scope in this.particular field.in india.good luck
