School of Agricultural Sciences & Technology

Agriculture dates back to the Neolithic period, approximately 7,000 to 10,000 years ago. While traditional farming methods from the 18th and 19th centuries still prevail in many regions across the globe, agricultural science and technology have undergone tremendous advancements over the years.

With the global food demand rising at an extraordinary rate, it’s no longer just about feeding the current population; it’s about ensuring a sustainable, high-quality food supply for future generations. The challenge is to balance productivity with environmental preservation.

At RIMT, we are equipping our agriculture students with the tools, knowledge, and skills needed to address one of the most critical issues of our time—producing food sustainably for an ever-growing population, without depleting the planet’s limited natural resources. The School provides in-depth knowledge on pressing modern issues like food security, climate change, water scarcity, soil degradation, protecting the environment and sustainability.

Equipped with both knowledge and practical skills, students and agricultural scientists can support farmers in cultivating better crop varieties that are suited to specific climates, soil types, and water availability. Graduates of the Agricultural Science program are well-positioned to build rewarding careers in agriculture, agribusiness, environmental management, and many more.

Throughout their academic journey, students acquire expertise in both fundamental and cutting-edge agricultural technologies. They learn to leverage research and technology to create sustainable, ethical, and profitable food production systems with the potential for global scalability. Students gain in-depth knowledge of soil science, plant growth cycles, plant-soil interactions, livestock production, and innovative farming practices. Additionally, they explore agricultural economics, the industrial use of crops, and the international legal framework surrounding farming and food production, preparing them to be leaders in the global agricultural industry.
