The Faculty of Agriculture and Biotechnology is an integral part of the University of Tetova, with the study programs Plant Production, Animal Production, Agribusiness and Veterinary Medicine. The continuous growth of the world’s population requires agriculture to increase the quantity and quality of food, while the reduction of agricultural land, on the other hand, makes this need of the population difficult. To achieve this objective, we must have intensive, professional and integrated agriculture. Only in this way can agriculture from the reduced areas provide sufficient quantities of food and quality food. At the same time, the global priority of agriculture is the sustainable use of natural resources and environmental protection, in accordance with these processes.
The Faculty aims to:
● Pursuing the latest methods of intensive agricultural production, the most adequate use of agricultural mechanization, plant protection products;
● Creating scientific cadres of a model of European education capable of engaging in scientific research work in the field of agriculture, biotechnology and the environment;
● Transferring new technologies in agriculture through intensive cooperation with farmers, processing capacities and similar institutions in the country, region and the world.
The imperative of the Faculty of Agriculture and Biotechnology is to create a professional and academic profile, which will possess the necessary knowledge to face the various challenges that agriculture has in terms of production, management, protection, and processing of agricultural products as well as market demands.
