Higher Education and Efficiency Needed to Become an Agriculturist

Become an agriculturist

Once we read in the book, agriculture is the main means of livelihood in Bangladesh; about 80 percent people of the country involved in agriculture. But the condition is no longer present.

According to the Agriculture Department of Bangladesh, there are 59.84% of the people in rural areas and 10.81% of the people in urban areas having agricultural farms. The agricultural sector contributes 19.1% in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 48.1% employment is being made in the agriculture sector.

Namely, the career in agricultural sector stands at almost half in past 15 years. And considering these, career building in the agricultural sector has been challenging now. World populations and economies are rapidly increasing their demands for food and fiber.

At the same time, agricultural systems are being placed under pressure to meet environmental, social and economic goals. To meet these goals and to maintain or increase production levels, an understanding of the complex factors that shape agricultural systems is required. The Graduate Certificate in Agricultural Science gives students the opportunity to update their knowledge and skills for a future in the rapidly evolving field of agricultural science.

Course description, features and facilities:
