Abstract

Under the background of the in-depth advancement of the rural revitalization strategy, local agricultural colleges bear the core mission of cultivating innovative talents who understand and love agriculture. Taking Anhui Agricultural University as the research object, this paper analyzes the “five-level platform, four-dimensional system, and three-party collaboration” innovation and entrepreneurship education model constructed by the university. Through approaches such as competition incubation, integration of industry and education, and mutual promotion of ideological and innovative education, the model provides talent support for agricultural modernization. The research shows that this model has effectively addressed the pain points in agricultural education, such as the shortage of practical platforms, the disconnection between industry and education, and the weak sense of innovation, through mechanisms including maker space incubation projects, the extension of scientific and technological services to rural areas, and the feedback of discipline competitions to teaching.
