Re: University Of South Pacific Agriculture

The School of Agriculture and Food Technology (SAFT) is situated at the Alafua Campus of The University of the South Pacific in Samoa.

List of courses offered:

Certificate in Agriculture
Diploma in Agriculture
Bachelor of Agriculture
PGD in Agriculture
Master of Agriculture
PhD in Agriculture

Some of the research activities are summarized below:

The Discipline of Agricultural Economics, Extension and Education continued to conduct research on various aspects of the socio-economics of crop and livestock production, farmer participation in agricultural production and productivity, and some aspects of agricultural extension and agricultural education.

In the field of Animal Science, research on the use of locally available feedstuff in livestock production continued - with emphasis on ruminants (cattle, sheep and goat) and on monogastric livestock (poultry and pig).

The Crop Science Discipline continued its research on the management of the Taro Leaf Blight (TLB) disease by breeding, selection, and field-testing of more taro cultivars - with the aim of identifying additional varieties that are resistant/tolerant to this disease, while being acceptable to taro consumers.

As in 2003, research in the area of Soil Science and Agricultural Engineering continued on the 'Development of Integrated Approaches for Sustainable Crop Production in Environmentally Constrained Systems in the South Pacific Region" - an EU-funded Project with the acronym 'CROPPRO'.
