Faculty of Agriculture and Environment
Background
The Faculty of Agriculture and Environment was established in 2005 as a key player in training of agricultural and environmental professionals at undergraduate and postgraduate levels with the right knowledge, skills and attitudes for sustainable social transformation. At its inception, the faculty had only the Bachelor of Agriculture Programme, and a total of 51 pioneer students enrolled in 2005. Over the years, the faculty has grown, and now has Five Bachelors’, Seven Masters’ and One PhD programmes and an enrolment of about 700 students from more than eight African countries. There are 43 full-time academic staff and 15 administrative and support staff. The faculty also supports the training of BSc in Agriculture at Hoima Campus, and in future, it plans to offer similar support to Gulu University Constituent Collage, Moroto.

Faculty Mission

Welcome Message
The African agriculture sector is currently faced with a number of challenges, including slow technological innovations and adoption; limited access to land and agricultural finance; a weak agricultural extension system; and overdependence on rain-fed agriculture. These problems are exacerbated by poor postharvest handling; inadequate value addition; environmental degradation and impacts of climate change. More still, African Youth are migrating to urban areas, leaving a rapidly-ageing cohort of farmers to feed the growing population. Interruptions in the grain supplies, as result of the Russia-Ukraine War, has made the food security situation worse in many African countries. If these challenges are not addressed, the attainment of many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), most especially SDG 1 – No Poverty, SDG 2 – Zero Hunger, and SDG 13 – Climate Action will be curtailed. At the national level, these challenges undermine the attainment of National Development Plans, most especially the agro-industrialisation programme under the National Development Plan Three (NDP III).
