LUANAR FACULTIES

The Agriculture virtual faculty was established following the setting up of the Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The Faculty has been a pioneer and very instrumental in the training of frontline workers for various Government departments, Non-governmental organisations and the private sector. The training is highly hands on and practical so that the graduates from the programs possess competences that will enable them to be self-starters and entrepreneurial in their thinking.

Currently plans are underway to formalize the Faculty with supporting Departments that will offer various degrees, diplomas and certificates. The Virtual Faculty has two Departments namely Agriculture and Natural Resources. These two departments manage and implement 1 Degree program in Food Technology and the following Diplomas: Agriculture, Agriculture Education, AgroFood Processing, Animal Health & Production, Environmental Management, Food Nutrition & Livelihoods Security, Horticulture, Irrigation Technology and Land Administration.
