The Faculty of Agriculture and Technology strives to make science work for the benefit of humanity and the environment. Our scientific achievements and our problem-focused research and development activities will ensure the continued relevance of our research and our graduates to the agricultural industry and economic development of the time.
The Faculty consists of four dynamic departments: Department of Animal Science and Technology, Department of Crop Science and Horticulture Technology, Department of Extension and Agribusiness and Centre for Sustainable Development and Poverty Alleviation. The following seven four-year (Honours) degrees are offered: BSc in Animal Science Technology, BSc in Wildlife Resources Management, BSc in Crop Science and Technology, BSc in Horticulture and Technology, BSc in Crop Post Harvest and Technology, BSc in Agribusiness, BSc in Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, one-year certificate and two-year Diploma in Sustainable Development and Poverty Alleviation.
The Centre for Sustainable Development and Poverty alleviation endeavours to unlock the challenges that people, particularly the marginalized face in trying to earn an adequate and resilient standard of living in an environment that is characterized by poverty and lack of job opportunities.
