Welcome to FAFS
The Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences (FAFS) was established in
1952 on AUB's main campus in Beirut and was modeled on the US land-grant
college system. FAFS however, broke away from the land-grant model by
diversifying its academic portfolio to respond to the needs of rural and
urban societies through the introduction of new academic programs with
diverse disciplines of agribusiness, agriculture, food science and
management, landscape design and ecosystem management, nutrition and
dietetics, and veterinary sciences. The culture of FAFS has also
evolved; we are no longer a school that teaches how to grow food;
instead, we have positioned ourselves at the intersection of nature and
human wellbeing across Lebanon and the Middle East. |
