Message From The Dean
The Faculty of Agriculture currently has seven (7) undergraduate and seventeen (17) postgraduate degree programmes spread out in four (4) departments. The training programmes are regularly reviewed to incorporate emerging scientific and technological issues in the agricultural, food and environmental sciences. Notable among such rapid changes relate to knowledge in the areas of biotechnology, information technology and environmental quality. Our programmes have a strong practical component, which puts emphasize on participation in carrying out relevant research and outreach activities aimed not only in increased agricultural production, but also in environmental protection. About 95 of the academic staff in the Faculty are trained up to PhD level. In partnership with researchers from other universities, and national and international research institutions, over the years, our staff have been involved in cutting age research in various fields, ranging from agronomy, crop protection and soil sciences, to food technology and nutrition, and agricultural economics.
