Iraq Agricultural Extension Revitalization

Iraq
Made possible through a cooperative agreement with USDA/CSREES and USDA/FAS.

A consortium of land-grant universities, led by Texas A&M University in cooperation with the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture and agricultural colleges, is initiating a program to provide extension training and support, expand university capacity development, and build stakeholder cooperation in Iraq. This type of agricultural advancement is key to providing food security, rural livelihoods, sustainable resource management, and economic growth as a stabilizing force for Iraqi security.
