| Scope of the program | The Agriculture and Food Business Management Life Sciences programs at Northwestern Polytechnic University are not just about addressing the demands and challenges faced in Pakistan. They are designed to tackle global issues and promote economic development, improve food security, and drive sustainable growth worldwide. In Pakistan, where agriculture plays a vital role in the economy, our programs are particularly relevant. With the increasing demand for agricultural resources due to population growth, there is an urgent need for qualified experts to optimize agricultural methods while ensuring sustainability and profitability. Our graduates are equipped to address pressing issues such as crop diseases, soil erosion, water scarcity, and climate change resilience to increase crop yields and farm profitability. As Pakistan is a major producer of agricultural commodities like rice, wheat, and cotton, our graduates have opportunities to support agribusiness development and export promotion, leading to increased agricultural exports and economic growth. But our programs are not limited to Pakistan. They also address global issues and prepare our graduates to contribute to sustainable development goals, improve food traceability, supply chain resilience, and mitigate the impact of climate change on agriculture. They also play a crucial role in promoting cross-border collaboration and innovation in the increasingly interconnected world of international trade and cooperation. |
