Abstract: With a history more than 70 years,pratacultural science is a well established research field worldwide.With the implementation of the West Development Strategy and development of pratacultural science such as the introduction of system engineering approach and prataculture ecosystem theory,higher education in pratacultural science has been conducted in most of China,and comprehensive programs for pratacultural science major that offer degrees at three different levels： Bachelor,Master and Ph.D has been developed.As a result,pratacultural science major becomes more and more important in academia.Unfortunately,Guangxi Autonomous Region,which has more than 10% of total grassland in south China area and is heavily dependent on mountainous and rocky agriculture,does not have any higher education program on pratacultural science.Therefore,we reviewed the perspective and prospect of the pratacultural science both national-wide and worldwide,and we also proposed the urgency and necessity to develop higher education on pratacultural science in Guangxi.On this basis,we also represented the strategy and significance to develop higher education on pratacultural science in Guangxi.Further,we justified our conclusions with areas of Karst mountain and grassland,sustainable agriculture,economic and social development,and development of higher education.We believed that to develop program on pratacultural science in Guangxi University fits in well with the goals of China,and higher education in Guangxi University has its own disciplinary superiority and specialty foundation of disciplinary development.Pratacultural science involves a broad spectrum of research disciplines,and it can create cross-disciplinary co-operations with the existing programs of agricultural sciences in Guangxi University,which has an apparent synergetic effect and enriches academia.In addition,no enough skilled personnel is available in the pratacultural science field,which ensure a bright future for the pratacultural science.
