developing an integrated ecological approach for rangeland management to enhance food security in a changing climate

A Center of Excellence in agricultural scientific research to achieve sustainable development. The center aims to invest the results of agricultural research whether locally derived or adopted from other sources in order to increase plant & animal production, enhancing its efficiency towards optimal and sustainable use of natural agricultural resources, serving the agricultural development goals to maintain the ecological balance. We work with our partners to strengthen the center’s role as a national umbrella for agricultural research, to achieve sustainable, resilient development and optimal use of natural resources.

With the current global climate changes, food supply is becoming more critical than ever, especially in arid regions like Dhofar. The knowledge gained from this project will allow for more efficient use of rangeland locations and will help diagnose issues and challenges related to grazing pastures. This type of enhanced understanding is essential for ensuring that food production remains sustainable and that we can continue to feed our growing population. Ultimately, this project can help protect the livelihoods of the people who depend on the land for their subsistence.
