Description
Book SynopsisAgricultural development is an important economic engine for development in the Arab countries in North Africa and the Middle East. An essential factor to accelerate agricultural development in these countries is a well-educated and trained agricultural workforce. However, the areas of secondary school, community college, and university agricultural education have lacked attention and resources for many years. Curriculum development, instructional enhancement, practical training, and career advancement are central to agricultural education development, technology utilization, and natural resource management. The engagement of educators, administrators, business and community leaders, and policymakers ensures that the graduates of all levels of agricultural education are well prepared for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
Agricultural Education for Development in the Arab Countries provides essential knowledge to enhance all elements of agricultural secondary, post-secondary, and university education programs to effectively prepare students for successful careers in global agriculture, multi-national food supply chains, and natural resource management. Covering topics such as higher education, workforce skills, and agribusiness, this reference work is ideal for agriculturists, industry professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
