ABSTRACT

Amid the dual context of building an agricultural powerhouse and advancing novel productive forces, the tropical crop industry is accelerating its transition towards intelligence, sustainability, and internationalization, thereby imposing heightened demands on the interdisciplinary aptitude and practical capabilities of innovative talents. Addressing prevailing challenges such as pronounced disciplinary barriers, superficial industry-education integration, and insufficient international adaptability in the training of tropical crop production professionals, this study proposes a “Three Integrations and Three Drives” talent cultivation system. This framework centers on the core pathways of interdisciplinary integration, profound industry-education integration, and synergistic scientific-educational collaboration, propelled by the engines of industry demand, cutting-edge technology, and international cooperation. Through curriculum restructuring, pedagogical innovation, enhancement of practical platforms, and reform of assessment mechanisms, this approach achieves synchronous resonance among talent development, industrial progress, technological advancement, and global needs. The proposed system offers a replicable and scalable model for talent training in tropical crop majors under the new agricultural science paradigm.
