Xinyang Agriculture and Forestry University (XYAFU) is a university located in Xinyang City, in the southern part of Henan Province, Central China. It was established in 1910 as the Runing-fu Industrial School.
History
Xinyang Agriculture and Forestry University was founded in Runan County, Zhumadian, Henan, in 1910 as the Runing-fu Industrial School (汝寧府中等實業學堂, Rǔnìngfǔ zhōngděng shíyè xuétáng). The school moved to Xinyang City after 1949, and its name was changed to the Xinyang Agricultural School in 1958. In 1992, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China renamed it the Xinyang Agricultural College.[1] In 2013, the institution gained university status, becoming the Xinyang Agriculture and Forestry University.[2]
Today, the university is most well-known for its School of Tea Science, which has long had a close relationship with the development and cultivation of Xinyang Maojian tea.[3] It is also home to the Journal of Xinyang Agriculture and Forestry University, a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes research in fields related to agriculture and forestry.[4]
