Message of the Dean

The agricultural sector is the driving force for economic growth, job creation and national development. From the point of view of the great founder of Islamic Revolution and the Supreme Leader, the agricultural sector plays an outstanding role in national self-sufficiency and agriculture is one of the major pillars of national security. According to Imam Khomeini, "the attention to the reconstruction of industrial centers should not abort the efforts aimed at achieving agricultural self-sufficiency, but the first priority should always be placed on agricultural self-sufficiency and the authorities have to pursue this policy more than ever. Certainly, self-sufficiency in agriculture is a prerequisite for independence and self-sufficiency in other fields. As the Supreme Leader maintains: "the agricultural sector is a central pillar of the countrys administration and the authorities of different organizations must understand this importance and take into account all issues affecting the position of the agricultural sector, including allocation of funds and facilities, attention to academic and non-academic research and training, the appointment of capable people at the forefront and resolving the farmers problems?. Faculty of Agriculture of TMU, with its dedicated and competent professors and elite students, is trying to achieve the scientific goals of the national 20-year vision document, its scientific mission in the production of science and technology and the acquisition of advanced knowledge and bring the country the reputation it deserves. This faculty strives to focus on science and research through the expansion of educational and research capacities. It aims to follow the policy of meeting the real needs of society, commercialization of science and training of creative, participatory and responsible professionals. According to the objectives of the fifth development plan of the country, the main orientation of the faculty of agriculture concerns the use of knowledge and technology in the process of agricultural production, creation of food security based on the production of healthy products, increasing the productivity of water and soil resources and protecting the environment and natural resources.
It is hoped that by divine grace, the ambitious goals of the Faculty of Agriculture will be realized by strengthening the atmosphere of vitality and hope for the future, synergy, mutual understanding, interaction and exchange of views, and the constructive and valuable experiences of teaching staff and elite students.
