The Center for Arid Farming and Conservation Agriculture Research at the University of Mosul welcomed third-year students from the Department of Medicinal Plant Technologies and Natural Products, Agricultural Technical College, Northern Technical University, on Tuesday, 3 November 2026. The students were accompanied by several faculty members as part of a scientific field visit. The delegation was received by Assistant Professor Dr. Maan Mohammed Saleh, Head of the Center’s Genetic Resources Department.

  The visit aimed to provide students with an opportunity to gain practical insights into modern technologies and scientific methods used in the propagation and improvement of rangeland plants, as well as to explore ongoing experiments and specialised research in this field. This experience is intended to broaden their scientific knowledge and strengthen their practical skills in plant science and natural resources.

  The visit also included an overview of the Center’s research facilities and adopted technologies, highlighting the scientific efforts undertaken to develop rangeland plants and improve their performance. Particular attention was given to the environmental and climatic challenges that necessitate the adoption of sustainable scientific approaches to conserve and enhance plant resources.

  This visit contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger; SDG 4: Quality Education; SDG 13: Climate Action; SDG 15: Life on Land; and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
