Egypt has commenced executive procedures to establish a specialised “Food University” aimed at supporting national food security and sustainable development, the Education Development Fund (EDF) announced. The university will comprise five specialised colleges: smart agriculture, animal production, water resource management, food process technology, and agricultural mechanisation. The campus will also house a food research centre and an entrepreneurship incubator. The Food University project is part of the EDF’s vision to develop a modern educational system based on project-based learning and international partnerships. The initiative seeks to align with Egypt’s Vision 2030 and establish the country as a regional hub for specialised education and scientific research in sustainable agriculture and food sciences.
