Welcome to the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry at the University of Guyana, a premier institution for nurturing innovators of Guyana’s most vital sector. We are a community of researchers, students, and innovators working together to build a more sustainable, food-secure future.
Guyana stands at a pivotal crossroad of immense opportunities. Opportunities to utilize our oil wealth to drive value addition and diversification in the agriculture sector, enhance human capital and technology, accelerate the development of the knowledge economy, enhance critical agriculture infrastructure, and insulate and strengthen agriculture development. Our role at the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry is to make meaningful contributions to this development. Hence, we strive to provide a world-class, hands-on education that blends sound scientific theory with practical application to address the pressing challenges within the agricultural sector - from climate-smart agriculture to sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation.
Our students are taught by passionate faculty members who are not only esteemed academics but also active in research and consultancies, as well as actively engaged in addressing issues facing the agriculture sector in Guyana and the wider Caribbean.
Our students gain experience on experimental farms, laboratory facilities, as well as the living forest. Here, we believe in educating the whole person, equipping our students not only with scientific expertise but also the ethical foundation to become leaders in the field.
