As part of efforts to strengthen the partnership between academic institutions and the agricultural sector, Assistant Professor Dr. Sami Khudhur Saeed, Dean of the College of Agriculture at Tikrit University, paid an official visit to the Directorate of Agriculture in Salahuddin Province.
This visit comes within the framework of governmental directives aimed at unifying efforts between the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research and the Ministry of Agriculture, with the goal of supporting and developing the agricultural sector through scientific expertise and applied research.
The visit reflects a shared vision between both parties to build a sustainable agricultural sector in Salahuddin that relies on scientific innovation and modern technology.
