Northwest A&F University was established late, but it only has a history of more than 20 years. Xinong was formed by the merger of the former Northwest Agricultural University, the Institute of Soil and Water Conservation of the Ministry of Water Resources of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shaanxi Academy of Forestry, 1999, and was selected as a 985 university in 2004. In addition, Xinong is located in Yangling District, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, and its geographical location is remote, so many people did not know that there was such a 985 university in Shaanxi Plateau.
Xinong's 985 is recognized by the society. Although Xinong ranks lower among the 985 universities, Xinong is a 985 university approved by the state, affiliated to the Ministry of Education, and its academic qualifications are also recognized by the society. Moreover, the comprehensive strength of Xinong is much stronger than that of ordinary undergraduate colleges, and it has its own advantageous disciplines. In recent years, the reputation of western agriculture has gradually spread. On the one hand, the state has increased its investment in agricultural construction in the western region. On the other hand, outstanding graduates of western agriculture have brought social influence.

Xinong has been ranked in the top three in the ranking of national agricultural universities, and six majors, including agriculture and forestry science, engineering, environmental science and ecology, have been shortlisted in the top ranking of ESI in the world 1%. It can be said that the development of western agriculture is very powerful.
