Promoting the development of Emerging Engineering and Emerging Agricultural Sciences constitutes a critical pathway for higher education to respond to national strategic demands, aligning closely with the urgent need for specialized professionals in rural planning under strategies such as rural revitalization and agricultural/rural modernization. Planning education should actively respond to disciplinary optimization reforms and strengthen the cultivation of interdisciplinary talents oriented towards rural planning and construction needs. As vital incubators for regional innovative technical talents, local science and engineering universities demonstrate unique advantages in advancing the reform of talent cultivation systems for rural planning and design. This study clarifies the connotation of "industry-agriculture integration" and the objectives/requirements for cultivating rural planning and design professionals, revealing existing issues in four aspects: training programs, theoretical frameworks, curriculum development, and teaching methodologies. It proposes that postgraduate training in rural planning and design should establish a "planning-construction-management-operation" competency system based on comprehensive rural development requirements. Guided by the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) concept, the study advocates establishing a government-industry-university-research collaborative teaching model. Focusing on five cultivation dimensions - digital governance, systems thinking, technological innovation, cultural heritage, and collaborative management - it emphasizes innovative reforms in curriculum restructuring and teaching system optimization. These efforts aim to achieve supply-side reform in cultivating advanced research-oriented application talents for rural planning and design, providing reference for future undergraduate program establishment and postgraduate training models in this field.
