Farming for Development: College of Agriculture and Forestry

Agricultural production must therefore be increased. This requires tractors, fertilizers, new and better seeds, vast irrigation schemes, land reforms.

With help from the Food and Agriculture Organization and UN Development Programme the Government has established this college, among other things, to train the necessary personnel and to conduct agricultural research in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture.
