We all have our favorite ag schools (Go Gators!) but if you want a non-biased source for the top rated universities in any subject, the definitive source is the QS World University Rankings.

First compiled in 2004, the QS World University Rankings currently considers over 3,000 institutions, and ranks more than 800 under a methodology that includes academic reputation, employer reputation and research impact. In the latest rankings for agriculture and forestry universities, most of the top ten are here in the United States and many are names you would expect to see, such as UC-Davis (#1), Purdue and UW-Madison (tied at #5 and 6), and Iowa State at #8.

Rounding out the top ten this year are Cornell University (2), Wageningen University – the Netherlands (3), UC-Berkeley (4), Australian National University (7), Oregon State University (8), and the Swedish University of Agricultural Science at number 10.

Our Gators came in at #16 – see where your favorite school ranked.
