Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences

Assoc Prof. Bamwerinde Mwetonde Wilson
Faculty Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, Kabale University. The faculty has two main departments namely; Department of Agriculture Sciences and the Department of Environmental Sciences. The Department of Agriculture Sciences runs two programs, namely; Bachelor of Agriculture and Land Use Management, and Bachelor of Agribusiness. The programs in the Department of Environmental Sciences include a Master of Science in Environment and Natural Resources, Bachelor of Environmental Sciences, and Diploma in Environmental Sciences.

The uniqueness of the Faculty
Kabale University is located in the mountainous areas of Kigezi highlands. These are environmentally sensitive areas and agriculture takes place on steep slopes with one of the highest rural population densities in Africa. The faculty programs are reviewed every three 3 years to make them academically relevant in farming communities and competitive in the job market. Graduates find employment in a wide range of organizations in government, Non-governmental organizations, and private sectors. Key areas of specialization include agribusiness and post-harvest handling of agricultural commodities, and environmental management in the ecologically fragile environment.

Outreach and Research Activities
There are a number of research outreach activities around fragile and ecologically sensitive areas of Lake Bunyonyi. Here students work together with lecturers and farming communities to develop technologies for increased crop production using sustainable methodologies and approaches. More research is proposed around Mgahinga national park on the slopes of Mt Muhabura that extends over 4300 meters above the sea level. This park is part of Virunga Mountains on Rwanda and Congo which is the home of the endangered mountain gorilla. Students conduct research in the areas of sustainable land management systems water, pollution, soil erosion, waste management, agroforestry, ecotourism, soil fertility, indigenous knowledge systems, and soil science. The staff has developed equally outstanding research activities in areas of water quality management, municipal waste pollution, bioremediation, waste management, environmental impact assessment, agroforestry, soil fertility, climate change, and food security and aquatic ecology.

Faculty Vision
To become an outstanding center of excellence in teaching and research of methodologies and approaches to address and restore ecologically degraded vulnerable areas.

Mission
To generate knowledge for quality teaching and research in order to meet farmers’ and environmental practitioners’ demands for sustainable development.

Resources
Kabale University has continuously improved the quality of staff and student enrollment. Highly qualified staff and technicians have been recruited to take lead in research and teaching. The laboratories are well equipped to conduct basic and advanced analyses. Furthermore, we are well linked with national and international laboratories where some analyses of chemical and biological parameters can be done if not locally handled. The library is equipped with computers to help students and staff access the latest publications and linkages to publishing houses. The University is equipped with buses for students going for fieldwork and outreaches. Additionally, the department Agriculture Sciences has agricultural demonstrations both at the university and local research centers for students.
