Abstract:As agriculture constitutes the foundation of the state, the strength of that foundation ensures stability. At a time when the modernization of agriculture and rural areas has increasingly become a prominent weak link in China"s modernization efforts, the level of construction of the "Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers" sector will affect the overall quality of China"s economic and social development. The construction of a "strong agricultural nation" will inevitably require a "strong agricultural think tank", and think tanks in the "Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers" domain play an important role in analyzing "Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers" issues, making policy decisions, and remedying and correcting policy tools. Research has found that currently, university think tanks have an advantage in terms of quantity and have become the main force of think tanks in the "Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers" domain. This paper describes the current state of the construction of university think tanks in the "Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers" domain, analyzes the development behaviors, characteristics, operating mechanisms, and outcome levels of university-affiliated agricultural think tanks, summarizes the main dilemmas in the construction of university-affiliated think tanks, and puts forward several suggestions on this basis, hoping to benefit the construction and transformation of the domestic "Agriculture, Rural Areas, and Farmers" think tank system, provide solid intellectual support, and meet the "intellectual demand" of China"s comprehensive promotion of the rural revitalization strategy in the new era.
