Agriculture

The Arab American University, in cooperation with the Caritas Jerusalem Foundation, has held an environmental agriculture event and the opening of a marketing exhibition for national rural products, in partnership with Caritas International Belgium, the Palestinian Environmental Quality Authority, and the Jenin Governorate Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and with funding from the Belgian Development Cooperation and Caritas France.

The Office of the Assistant to the President for Community Affairs at the Arab American University, in cooperation with the Directorate of Agriculture in Jenin, implemented an agricultural activity of planting olive seedlings in the area between the towns of Zababdeh and Raba. The activity was under the slogan “Prosperity and Sustainability”. It was implemented by a group of volunteering students from the University.

In order to improve the agriculture environment in the university, Arab American University established an agriculture house that depends mainly on the artificial intelligence. The idea of this house is to register accurate and correct readings of the needs of the plants from water to fertilizers to fight pests and diseases, and this will lead to increasing the agricultural production in Palestine in general and in Jenin governorate specifically.
