Abstract: This study explores the cultivation of outstanding chemistry talent in agricultural and forestry universities. Addressing the educational objectives of “comprehensive foundational knowledge, enhanced practical skills, and emphasis on innovation” in chemical disciplines at agricultural institutions, we developed an innovative tripartite training model encompassing “moral cultivation, foundation consolidation, and innovation promotion through multidisciplinary integration”. First, grounded in the principle of “virtue cultivation through education”, we implemented an integrated “teacher ideology-course ideology-discipline ideology” framework that synergistically combines patriotic education with innovation capability development, establishing a comprehensive ideological education system that connects coursework, scientific research, practical training, and industry-academia collaboration. Second, we reconstructed a curriculum system characterized by “broad scope, solid foundations, and distinctive features”, with core modules including synthetic chemistry, flame-retardant chemistry, and phytochemistry, effectively bridging cutting-edge academic developments with agricultural and forestry industry demands to create a diversified “foundation + innovation” pedagogical framework. Finally, through a stratified “research oriented-application oriented-internationalized” training approach and a three-dimensional “scientific education-industrial education-competition education” integration pathway, we established a collaborative mechanism driven by research projects, enhanced by industrial practice, and reinforced by academic competitions to strengthen students’ innovative thinking and practical abilities. Implementation results demonstrate that this model effectively addresses key challenges in chemistry education at agricultural and forestry universities, including insufficient ideological guidance, limited industry-academia collaboration, and indistinct disciplinary identity. It significantly enhances students’ professional qualifications and innovation capabilities for serving new agricultural science initiatives, providing a replicable paradigm for developing high-quality productive forces and supporting national strategies for educational advancement.
