Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Ayman Ashour and Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation Alaa Farouk discussed establishing a food university in Egypt.
This initiative goes in tandem with the state’s direction towards creating a new generation of specialized universities that support sustainable development, in accordance with Egypt’s Vision 2030.
The meeting was held at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research headquarters in the New Administrative Capital.
Ashour said specialized universities are a key component of developing the higher education system, in line with the directives of the political leadership.
This development aims to prepare qualified personnel with digital skills and specialized expertise through flexible, project-based learning programs that promote sustainability, innovation, and partnerships with industry.
He explained that these universities meet the demands of the Fifth Industrial Revolution by employing modern technologies and updating curricula and teaching methods.
This will support priority sectors, contribute to localizing advanced industries, attract investments, and increase employment opportunities.
For his part, Farouk emphasized the importance of establishing the Food University as a qualitative addition to the higher education system and a key supporter of the development of the agricultural and food industries sectors.
