The establishment of the Faculty of Agriculture of Udayana University was confirmed based on the Decree of the Directorate General of Higher Education Number: 102 Year 1967 dated 2 September 1967. At that time, the Faculty only gained the permit to conduct an Associate Degree Program and the academic title of B.Sc. was conferred upon its graduates.

Then, pursuant to the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture Number: 0132/0/1976 dated 18 June 1976, the Faculty of Agriculture of Udayana University gained the permit to conduct the Bachelor Degree Program in Agriculture and opened two departments, namely the Department of Agricultural Engineering and the Department of Agricultural Socio-Economics. Furthermore, based on the Decree of the Directorate General of Higher Education, Department of Education and Culture, Republic of Indonesia, Number: 55/Dikti/Kep./1984 dated 31 July 1984, the Faculty of Agriculture of Udayana University gained the permit to open five (5) departments, namely the Department of Agricultural Cultivation, the Department of Soil, the Department of Agricultural Socio-Economics, the Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, and the Department of Agricultural Product Technology.

The issuance of the Decree of the Directorate General of Higher Education, Department of National Education Number: 163/DIKTI/Kep/2007 dated 29 November 2007 concerning the Arrangement and Codification of Study Programs at the Higher Education Level required that the Faculty of Agriculture of Udayana University did restructuring to its departments/study programs. It also included restructuring the curriculum, organization and facilities/infrastructure including laboratories. Through such restructuring processes, the Faculty of Agriculture of Udayana University incorporated all the existing departments and study programs into two departments/study programs, namely the Department/Study Program of Agroecotechnology (resulted from the integration among the Agronomy Study Program, the Soil Study Program, the Plant Pest and Disease Study Program, and the Landscape Architecture Study Program) and the Department/Study Program of Agribusiness (resulted from the integration among the Agricultural Socio-Economics Study Program and the Agricultural Extension and Communication Study Program).
