The Department emphasises applied science, often in cooperation with the university's natural science subjects.

We are organized in four research groups: entrepreneurship and innovation, agri-business decision-making and behavior, agricultural and food economics, as well as on natural resource and environmental economics. Together with Lund University, and by commission from the Swedish Government, we also provide economic expertise in the fields of food, agriculture, fishing and rural development through the AgriFood Economics Center (www.agrifood.se/eng). The Department has around 65 faculty and staff, including around 15 PhD students.
