Abstract
Current trends transforming agriculture and rural society offer a package of new challenges to university departments of agricultural econOmics. Research, teachug and policy agendas in agriculture have shifted sigruficantly in ways that should demand more and better outputs hm professionals in this discipline. Limitations to meeting this challenge are explored and the logic developed to suggest that some of the most interesting and challenging years for South African agricultural economists lie just ahead. In a final section, the author bids farewell to friends and colleagues in LEVSA.
Die huidige tendense wat die landbou en landelike gemeenskap hervorm gee aanleiding tot 'n klomp nuwe uitdagings vir landbou-ekonomie deprtmente aan universiteite. Navorsing, onderrig en beleidsagendas binne die landbou het beduidend verskuif in opsigte wat meer en beter produksie van professionele persone in hierdie dissipline behoort te vereis. Aspekte wat die suksesvolle nastrewing van dié uitdagings beperk word ondersoek en die logiese afleiding word gemaak dat 'n aantal van die mees interessante en uitdagende jare vir Suid-Afrikaanse landbou-ekonome voorlê. In 'n finale afdeling neem die outeur afikeid van vriende en kollegas in LEVSA.
