Training Course on Small Ruminant and Poultry Production
| |
The Faculty, established in 1942, is one of the most prominent institutions in the world in the field
of agricultural research and education. It is the only faculty in the country for training agronomists
and agricultural researchers from Israel, in addition to researchers from both developed and developing
countries.
The Division for External Studies, acting as the Faculty's executive arm, is involved in a number of
areas of international activity such as short-term postgraduate courses and long-term graduate and
postgraduate studies, which include both an English-language M.Sc. degree and diploma programs.
Tailor-made courses have also been created in order to meet specific needs of partner countries.
Faculty researchers have amassed state-of-the-art knowledge, which may be adopted and adapted
in countries with similar ecogeographic conditions. In courses implemented by the Division, advances
and innovations in a broad range of fields are transfered. Course topics include: biotechnology, food
management, protected agriculture, groundwater management, aquaculture, dairy and beef cattle
management, poultry management, food technology and sustainable horticulture.
Informal relationships are created at all levels, as teachers and students work side-by-side in the
laboratory. In addition, during the course, opportunities for initial commercial contacts are provided,
particularly in the form of field trips to relevant commercial companies. As a result of this approach,
research activities are frequently maintained between Israeli lecturers and Division course graduates,
and in some cases, business contacts between the private sectors are established. This enables
participants to further their country's progress toward modernized agriculture.
