Abstract

The coordinated development of agricultural and forestry talent cultivation in agricultural universities and beautiful rural construction represents a critical pathway for implementing rural revitalization strategies. This study constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system to measure the coupling coordination degree between talent cultivation systems and rural construction initiatives. Through literature analysis, expert consultation, and theoretical framework development, we establish a three-dimensional index system encompassing talent cultivation quality, rural construction effectiveness, and coupling coordination mechanisms. The research employs the coupling coordination degree model and entropy weight method to provide quantitative assessment tools for policy-makers. Findings indicate that optimizing the coupling relationship between agricultural higher education and rural development requires systematic institutional design, resource integration, and collaborative innovation mechanisms. This study offers theoretical foundations and practical guidance for promoting synergistic development between agricultural universities and rural revitalization.
