Goal 2. Zero Hunger
2.4.1 Proportion of Graduates in Agriculture and Aquaculture Including Sustainability Aspects
The significant number of 7809 graduates from AAST this year, including 98 who specifically graduated in agriculture and aquaculture sustainability aspects, indicates a promising trend in addressing the global challenges of food security and sustainable agriculture. This substantial proportion of graduates with sustainability expertise reflects a growing recognition of the importance of environmentally conscious practices in the agri-business sector. Their contributions will play a crucial role in achieving Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2), which aims to eradicate hunger and ensure access to safe, nutritious food for all.
As these graduates enter the agri-business world, they will bring with them a wealth of knowledge and skills to promote sustainable agricultural practices. They will be equipped to implement innovative techniques that enhance crop yields, optimize resource utilization, and minimize environmental impact. Their expertise will be invaluable in developing sustainable food systems that can meet the growing demand for food while preserving the planet's natural resources.

By emphasizing sustainable practices, AAST is ensuring that its alumni will be at the forefront of the transformation towards a more sustainable and resilient agri-business sector.
