学院始终把国际交流与合作作为提升办学质量、提高科研水平、实现跨越式发展的重要途径。目前与美国康奈尔大学、罗格斯大学、普渡大学、加州大学戴维斯分校、英国诺丁汉大学、英国皇家兽医学院、荷兰瓦格宁根大学、法国AgroParis Tech、新西兰梅西大学、日本千叶大学、京都大学、南九州大学等30多个世界知名学校和科研机构建立了良好的合作关系。自2004年起，学院与全球农科排名第一的美国康奈尔大学农业与生命学院形成战略伙伴并展开全面合作，并取得了卓越的成果。

       为了海纳百川，集全球农业院校之优势培育交大农科，学院与康奈尔大学、罗格斯大学、普渡大学等知名院校签订了2+2双学士学位协议，目前，已有二十余名交大本科生通过该项目获得了双学位，并顺利入学耶鲁大学、布朗大学等常青藤大学攻读硕士、博士学位。

       学院在深化已有国际化工作的基础上，积极拓展新的合作伙伴，邀请康奈尔大学等7所全球知名农科院校的教授为交大学生授课，全力打造“农科精英国际化培育工程”，从而形成一个全新的合作办学示范平台。目前该项目已经获得了学校“985工程”项目的立项支持，有望通过国际化合作办学平台，把交大农科建设成为国内国际化精英农科人才培养的典范，力争十年之内使交大农科进入世界一流农科行列。

除了与高校、科研机构开展紧密的合作交流，学院也积极与世界著名企业联合，有效利用先进科学技术、转化科研成果以及培养优秀人才。与日本住友化学株式会社、美国食品饮料和消费品制造商协会等企业签署了合作意向书，开展生态农场和食品安全领域的新合作。

      SAB has always taken internationalization development strategy as an important way to enhance educational quality, improve scientific research level and achieve leapfrog development. So far, it has established a good cooperative relationship with more than 30 world-renowned universities and research institutions, including Cornell University, Rutgers University, Purdue University, UC Davis, The University of Nottingham, The Royal Veterinary College, Wageningen University, AgroParis Tech, Massey University, Chiba University, Kyoto University, Minami Kyushu University, etc. The school has established deep and all-round collaborations with the school of Agriculture and Life Science of Cornell University (CALS) since 2004, which ranks top in the global agricultural science field, and made remarkable achievements ever since.

      In order to better cultivate agricultural talents by taking advantages of world class agricultural universities and colleges, the school signed 2+2 Dual Bachelor Degree Agreement with Cornell University, Rutgers University, and Purdue University and so on, more than 20 undergraduates obtained dual degree through these programs up till now. Most of them are successfully enrolled in the master or doctoral degree program by Yale University, Brown University, and other Ivy League Universities after graduation.

      The school is actively finding new partners while deepening existing international cooperation. We have invited professors from 7 world class universities to teach at SJTU, in order to establish an “International Agricultural Elites Education Program” which has been funded by “SJTU 985 Project”. This program is expected to form a fine example of Agricultural talent cultivation in China, as well as leading the school ranked at the top in worldwide agricultural area in the coming decade.

      Besides the cooperative efforts with universities and research institutions, the school is also actively seeking alliance with international well-known enterprises to speed up scientific research achievements transformation by effectively apply the advanced science and technology, as well as cultivating talents. Letters of intent have been signed with Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. and Grocery Manufacturers Association to set up new cooperation in ecological farm and food safety areas.
