Scientific concern and interests of the academic staff of Faculty of Economics of Latvia University of Agriculture have formed and developed in relation to crucial political, economic and social changes occurring in Latvia since Latvia regained independence in 1991. The first stage of the Agrarian reform was characterised by the elaboration of the concept (project) for the State strategy in agriculture, draft law “On Agriculture”, and the system of economic mechanisms for the implementation of conceptual strategy in Latvia. During the second stage the academic staff of Faculty took a governing part in the elaboration of the programme “Scientific Fundamentals for Agricultural Development in Latvia” that was published as a monograph. Later the leading researchers of Faculty participated in the research programme “Risk Factors, Assessment of Risk Factors and Risk Management in Latvia Agriculture” and consequently also in the second phase of the mentioned programme “Management Systems of Risks and Crises in Latvia Agriculture”. The research results were compiled in two scientific monographs. The broad and multiform themes of postgraduate students also comprehensively characterise the diversity of research activities undertaken in the Faculty. The study of agricultural and rural diversification problems and solutions is an outstanding and long-term research course for Latvia in the structure of the European Union. The scientists and postgraduate students belonging to different departments of the Faculty also deal with other topical aspects in macroeconomics, microeconomics, regional development, finances and crediting, marketing and other spheres.
