The three parties will cooperate in many aspects such as undergraduate and postgraduate education and academic training; staff and student exchange; livestock personnel exchange; and special seminars.

The New Farmer Education Program was officially launched in September 2021, and the first batch of more than 50 students from the Department of Life Sciences of Yuncheng College will receive a full English online course hosted by the Training Institute of Wageningen University for one academic year.

During the same period of the conference, Changrong Agrotech and Yuncheng College signed an agreement on cooperation between industry, academia and research, and reached a cooperation intention on the joint establishment of "Rural Revitalization Doctoral Workstation" and "Sino-Dutch Joint Education". The strong scientific research and educational resources of Wageningen University and Yuncheng College combined with the pain points of the animal husbandry industry and the demand for talents from the development of enterprises, and jointly explored a new mode of training high-quality talents, which will certainly help the revitalization of the countryside and jointly provide talents for the healthy development of the industry!
