A. What is Agricultural Education?
Agricultural Education is the process of teaching and learning the skills, knowledge, and principles of agriculture. It is not just about farming; it covers the entire agricultural value chain, including science (e.g., soil science, genetics), technology (e.g., irrigation systems, machinery), business (e.g., agribusiness, marketing), and resource management. Its main goal is to train skilled individuals who can improve agricultural productivity, ensure food security, and contribute to national development.
