Bachelor Of Science In Dryland Agriculture And Enterprise Development.

Introduction

Programme Objectives

  1. Articulate the viability of dryland as key resources for agricultural development
  1. Implement crop and animal production enterprises for food production, income generation and employment creation
  2. Innovate diversification options for maximizing returns from dryland ecosystems
  3. Offer agricultural advisory and extension services to a wide range of dryland stakeholders
  4. Contribute to agricultural policy formulation for the development of drylands

Justification/Rationale:

The programme seeks to provide practical and professional expertise needed for the learning of appropriate scientific principles and practices of agriculture. The major challenge in crop production in the drylands has been inadequate soil moisture and low soil fertility. Therefore, in order to tap into this vast resource, this programme seeks to develop professionals with requisite capacity and practical skills of transforming drylands into national, county and household food baskets for enhanced human well-being. It will also help in addressing the Kenyan Government鈥檚 Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
