• Department of General Forestry

Background

Forestry is an activity that peoples establish, manage and harvest forests and forest products so as to satisfy their need for goods and services. Forests are directly and indirectly related to the life of many of Ethiopians population. Forests provide both wood and non wood products to the people. Almost all the rural community (85%) of the total population of the country depends on biomass energy for cooking and heating their homes. The construction of cultural houses in many parts of the country require split wood, poles and posts, bamboo, green climbers, and other forest resources. The country is also earning some amount of foreign currency from the production of non timber forest products like gum, incense and resin, spices, and bamboo. The local community is also highly benefited from the harvesting of non timber forest products. The role of forests in providing soil and water conservations as well as protection of wild life and other biodiversity is tremendous. The state of the forest in the country is dwindling from time to time. At the moment, the forest cover of the country is estimated to be 12% which is far below the estimated amount of forests 40 years before. Agricultural expansion, over harvesting, urbanization and settlement, overgrazing, climate change, and many other factors involved for the deterioration of the forest. The expansion of plantation forests can play a great role in fulfilling the wood demand of the community and reducing the pressure exerted on the natural forest. However, the rate of expansion of plantation forests lagging behind the problem.

Because of the growing demand for forests and forest resources in one hand and the continuing degradation of forest resources on the other hand required the training of skilled man power in higher learning institutions. Graduates of the college are working in various governmental and non-governmental organizations including the bureau of agriculture, environmental protection offices, educational and training institutions, research centers, biodiversity conservation sites, soil and water conservation/water shade management projects, national parks, and NGO’s working in rural development projects. Some of the graduates are also investing in the forestry field which has some contribution in the development of the country.At the moment all the higher education institutes of Ethiopia are under educational reforms. One of the reforms is new education road map. According to the new education road map, the minimum stay period in University for undergraduate students was 4 years.

Mission

The mission of the General Forestry Department is to produce and to transmit knowledge about the function and dynamics of forests and related renewable resources to all stakeholders/customers; to encourage continual learning about forest and related renewable resources and their role in making people’s lives better; and to produce graduates who will manage the forest and related resources on sustainable bases.

• Department of Horticulture

Background

In Ethiopia agriculture plays a highly significant role in terms of food and nutrition security, environmental sustainability, domestic income and export revenue generation, raw material source for agro-industries as well as creating ample employment opportunities. In quantitative terms, agriculture provides employment for more than 80% of the population, nearly 45.8% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and about 75% of the export earnings. Agricultural performance has improved since the mid-2000s, with crops, especially cereals, accounting for most of the growth. However, agricultural growth has lagged far behind the overall average, owing to the predominance of traditional farming practices, such as rain-fed cultivation and limited use of fertilizer, and small fragmented landholdings. For several years, the rate of population growth has exceeded by far more than the rate of growth of agricultural production. As a result of this, Ethiopia is facing repeated food security problems occasioned by unstable food production dynamics.

Horticulture is an important segment of agriculture sector, which contributes about one-fifth share in the economy of Agriculture and allied sectors. It is the fastest growing sub sector within agriculture and is set to assume a greater role and importance within the agriculture sector and eventually in the national economy. In addition, there are tremendous opportunities to augment exports of horticultural commodities and products especially fruits and vegetables-both raw and processed- by way of strengthening existing markets and exploring fresh markets. Due to the enormous potential of horticulture-both in domestic as well as international front- as evident from burgeoning demand of horticulture commodities and products, it could become a key driver in stimulating agricultural growth that has been rather sluggish in the recent past. Potential advantages of horticultural farming in terms of yielding higher farm output and remunerative returns, is likely to encourage horticulture farming on a larger scale. Numerous policy and development initiatives including massive financial and technical support available in the horticulture sector are likely to provide a greater impetus to the process of horticultural development in the country. Higher horticultural growth within the crop husbandry is not only expected to push agricultural growth further but also to make substantial contribution in the national economy by unleashing substantial value addition through storage, processing, transportation and marketing of horticultural commodities and products.

Vision

The vision the department is to become a full-fledged center of excellence in the field of horticulture that would put the University to be one of the top African universities in agriculture with worldwide recognition.

Mission

The program will contribute to the development of agricultural sector and thereby ensure food security and self-sufficiency through; –

• Teaching and research activities in the area of horticultural crop production and management
• Generating knowledge and producing skilled manpower in the  field of  horticultural
• Offering tailor-made trainings and consultancy services for those involved in horticultural crop production, either small scale producers and commercial as well
• Modernizing horticultural crop production sector by supplying it improved technologies i.e improved seed or planting material, propagation techniques, optimum fertilization, irrigation etc.
• Improving the quality of living of the society by supplying surplus production by maximizing productivity.

• Department of Natural Resource Management

Background

Education is a process by which man transmits his experiences, new findings, and values accumulated over the years, in his struggle for survival and development, through generations. Education enables individuals and society to make all-rounded participation in the development process by acquiring knowledge, ability, skills and attitudes. Higher Education Initiations (HEI) have a role in supplying the required skilled man power, improving productivity through learning from others, adopting technologies to local contexts, creating new ideas, etc. is at the center of the national development strategy. By the same token, Ethiopia’s ambition of becoming a middle income requires a well thought out integration of its higher education and human capital development strategy in to the overall growth and development plan. Ethiopian Education policy has been engaged to contribute its effort to transform Ethiopian society and place the country on a trajectory to become a lower middle-income economy by the year, 2030. Nowadays, significant attention has been given to upgrading economic and social infrastructure and promoting pro-poor spending on education, health, and other services to benefit the poor and the marginalized.

Natural Resource (NRs) are at the Major of human civilization. They are an engine for economic advancement and societal wellbeing. Everything we need and everything we use, as individuals or society, in the processed or unprocessed form are extracts of NRs. Indeed, they are our food, shelter, energy, medicine, raw materials, etc. The role and importance of NRs in economic development and societal wellbeing are nowhere else appreciated than in developing countries like Ethiopia whose populations are predominantly rural in structure and directly dependent on natural resource for subsistence. Today the NR bases of the country are heavily suffering from widespread improper and unwise utilization resulting in their rapid degradation. Deforestation, desertification, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, the decline of soil fertility decline, soil acidification, salinization, environmental pollution, and climate change are some of the major expressions of natural Resource problems in contemporary Ethiopia. As more users place demands on the scarce environmental Resource, the need for intelligent conservation and rational management of the natural assets is ever greater, the very concept of sustainable development. The fundamental principle of sustainable development entails that the use of natural Resource by a generation should not compromise (i) their roles in maintaining natural ecological balance, (ii) their position in environmental quality and integrity, and (iii) their quantity and quality such that successive generations could also satisfy their needs.

Natural Resource management forms part and parcel of sustainable development and is a systems

approach (integrated-holistic approach) to managing our natural resource.

This program in NaRM attempt to address the biological, engineering, social, economic, and policy-related aspects of managing natural Resource as an integrated system. The Natural Resource Management program thus prepares students not only to care for the land and water Resource but also to serve the people whose well-being depends on these Resources. The program also provides an opportunity for students interested in managing society’s impacts on the environment and how to manage it for long-lasting benefit.

The idea of this curriculum is incited following identification of the multidirectional problems encountering the sustainable management of the natural Resource. As past experiences witnessed, attempts to achieve sustainability on the management of several natural Resource independently does not furnish successful results. The strong stewardship of the environment as a whole is characterized by a wide variety of disciplines and approaches in training, and thus demands multidisciplinary- interdisciplinary- trans-disciplinary knowledge in broad areas that combines natural and social sciences. Indeed, this Natural Resource Management curriculum is designed to achieve such an approach, and by offering a properly selected relevant supportive, basic, skill (research and management supporting tools) and diverse scientific disciplines focusing on most natural Resource, and by showing the interaction among them and with their stakeholders that use and manage them. The focus of the curriculum is on an integrated (nature- society) approach. The courses are further organized in well-taught modules that packages inter- related courses together to deliver focused and comprehensive knowledge and skills to students on the major focus of the curriculum. At the end of each course, students will be acquainted with sufficient scientific and practical knowledge skills relevant to the aim of the courses and certified for each course accordingly. The curriculum is well structured with a flow of courses beginning with common courses and stepwise moving into specialized packaged with more disciplinary and inter-disciplinary courses and terminating with skill offering courses in research and managerial tools. After successful completion of all the courses, a student will be qualified for a B.Sc Degree in Natural Resource Management and certified as a competent graduate capable of working successfully in broad areas of Natural Resource Management. It is believed that students graduating with this curriculum can (i) Access, analysis and document the natural resource at various levels, (ii) develop and lead projects that focus on conservation of natural Resource, (iii) initiate, organize (facilitate), and implement training on sustainable management of natural Resource, and (iv) provide advice and technical support for small scale natural resource-based industries.

Rationale of the Program

Combating land degradation will be the major challenge in the coming decades. In line with this, the need for qualified manpower in the management of natural Resource is critical. Thus, the Natural Resource Management program will, therefore, contribute towards these efforts through the provision of training. The Program is intended to satisfy the educational needs of students with an interest in a wide variety of natural resource fields, issues, and career aspirations. It is expected to satisfy the professional and research demands of the region and the country and thereby contributing to reverse the present natural resource degradation of the region and the country at large. On the other hand, regardless of the critical problems we have been challenge associated with degradation of natural Resource, development programs and activities in the country, particularly at the grass-root levels, have been managed by professionals who are graduates of other agricultural fields. Almost all the professionals at the grass-root level are diploma holders with long field experience and limited knowledge of management of natural resource. However, the problem of natural resource degradation has been becoming a serious issue that demands an urgent solution. Moreover, because of the ratio of the total number of extension personnel on duty to the number of farmers in the country, much needs to be done to produce qualified personnel in the field of natural Resource management.

With a long history of agriculture, but with primitive practices, it is estimated that about 85% of the population is agrarian that needs well-trained professionals. In most parts of the country, the natural resource have been deteriorating because of agricultural practice on the highland that demands specialized training and research. Agricultural and environmental training and research have been also stayed to be concerns of the university to be able to provide training and carry out research that would alleviate societal problems in the region and the country at large. Hence, to assist development p e r s o n n e l , extension experts, and agriculturalists in the realization of their program and day-to- day objectives, it is of paramount importance to launch a regular continuing education program in the management of natural resource.

Mission

Department of NaRM aspires to generate self-reliant, competent, problem solving, research-oriented and innovative transformation agents who can actively participate in the teaching-learning, research doing and community services that basically enhance the technological advancement of the society as a whole.

Vision

The program of Natural Resource Management (NaRM) envisions to become a nurturing academic and research program for (i) producing knowledgeable and skilled professionals who upon graduation can effectively and creatively work on an integrated use and management of natural resource, (ii) generating and communicating problem-oriented technologies and techniques in NaRM, and (iii) ultimately evolve as a center of excellence in NaRM education and research in the country as well as the region.
